ALBUM REVIEW
This new american band, from Massachussetts, is a bunch of four virtuosos who play grand symphonic rock: four pieces for one hour of music! Michael Tenenbaum’s guitars are in the same sound and style as Steve HOWE very often This new american band, from Massachussetts, is a bunch of four virtuosos who play grand symphonic rock: four pieces for one hour of music! Michael Tenenbaum’s guitars are in the same sound and style as Steve HOWE very often but they also present more heavy influences sometimes. Eric Naylor’s high-pitched vocals, somewhere between Steve Walsh and Robert Plant, are excellent, and the rhythm section is full of groove and subtlety. In the great tradition of Kansas, Yes, Rush, Spock’s beard, here is a music full of melodies, guitar/keyboard riffs and solis, with also some bluesy/gospel flavour here and there.
