Quite solid album this one I have come to quite accidentally. You will find here the highlights that
made great bands like Rooster, Heep, Purple or even Lynyrd Skynyrd, such mix is thrown in these
pieces of music.
Maybe this band did not have the recognition I think they should have had because there's not a
single track that really stands out over the rest (maybe CY sets a different mood for its acoustic
nature (great tune by the way!)), so due to low commercial success they delivered just two albums
Hammonds and double guitars are present in all the album, delivered in an energetic way, with good
interplay, riffing and crunchy soloing. The doble guitar attack and the flavour is sometimes more
sabbat, zep or purple but sometimes they threw some souther flavours ala Lynyrd Skynyrd. Quite tasty
mix, let me tell you. There's even some flute every now and then that really fits the themes. The
songs are complex and dynamic enough to consider this prog in the same terms as, for example, Uriah
Heep.
Songwriting is ok, maybe not superb, but this is a very pleasant listen to everyone who loves heavy prog hammond and guitar driven.
There are also good vocal harmonies even in the backing vocals, and the lead singer reminds to Gillan or Byron, and is quite dynamic.
All in all, I'm having a really good time listening to this, and it is leaving me in a very good mood so...I'll give it a weak 4 stars, give them a try!
