CIRCLE IN THE FOREST
ASTURIAS
1988 , JAPAN - EURO 13.00
Label: SPALAX
ALBUM REVIEW
This is the Japanese band led by bassist Yoh Ohyama, with a sound that falls somewhere between contemporary jazz-rock fusion and Ommadawn period Mike Oldfield, with some very tight and complex polyrhythmics, soaring guitars, multi-layered keyboards and some excellent acoustic guitar work as well. Their music is instrumental, with vocals (some tracks) added only for effect (No Lyrics). The outcome is a stunning blend of acoustic and electric styles. Circle in the Forest is the band's first album from 1988, an outstanding masterpiece in itself. (GEPR)
