Label: MUSEA
ALBUM REVIEW
INTERPOSE could well be the new sensation, as far as Japanese Progressive rock is concerned. Its musicians have played together at regular intervals since the Eighties, but they eventually released their first collective opus in 2005, as a joint-venture between the Poseidon and Musea labels. This quintet plays a mainly instrumental music, enhanced by the (Japanese) vocals of the charming Sayuri AGURA. The contribution of the violonist Akihisa TSUBOY as well as that of his partner from KBB, DANI, are also noteworthy. The eponymous album presents a most symphonic Progressive jazz-rock high-lighting the virtuosity of guitarist Kenji TANAKA. These five long pieces are in a vein close to UK, being even closer to other Japanese bands such as OUTER LIMITS or PAGEANT. The band took particular care of the melodies, both subtle and evocative. A bright performance! (Musea)
