TRION
2004 , HOLLAND - EURO 15.00
Label: CYCLOPS
ALBUM REVIEW
Trion is a new project made up of members of Flamborough Head and Odyssice, and is a contraction of the words trio and tron (being short for Mellotron). The idea was to record some seventies styled progressive music and therefore keyboardist Edo Spanninga decided to use only sounds of the Mellotron. “The Mellotron is the pre-eminent prog keyboard of the seventies and dominated a lot of my favourite albums – so therefore all the flute, choir, strings, organ, cello and vibe sounds are from the Mellotron tapes”. Eddie Mulder gives some great guitar work recalling at times Hackett, Gilmour, Howe and of course his own work with Flamborough Head. Menno Boomsma of Odyssice gives us his usual great drum and percussion work. Well known Dutch artist Jasper Joppe Geers completes this package with one of his Roger Dean inspired artworks. (Cyclops)
