|
Progressive/retro mostly bright, but sometimes moody, pop, a la the early Genesis or Gong. Lead male singer that sounds a lot like early Phil Collins, maribmba, harmonica and light touches of electronica. Imaginative melodies, harmonies and orchestration. Great stuff. All songs are good, try marked ones. *1. Complex rhythms, nice harmonies, soft male voices. 2. Instrumental. Melodica, marimba, and stuff. Complex rhythms. 3. Opens with a pastoral acoustic guitar and some electronics at the background. Turns into something a bit more moody with a guitar and male voice. Very reminiscent of early Genesis. *4. Opens with a twirling electric guitar. Female and male voices nicely harmonized. Becomes a bit darker later. *5. Instrumental. Opens with a guitar, whistle and harmonica. Nice progression of melody (augmented/diminished scales, I think). 6. Opens moody and floating. A jazzy piano and male lead singer join later. *7. A dominant bass backbone. Guitar, keyboards, computer and lead singer. *8. Fast and rhythmically changing drums, piano and lead singer. quirkier. 9. Instrumental. Opens with a very slow, pastoral acoustic guitar. Harmonica and some horns join later. 10. Opens with a similar tempo to the previous track. Acoustic guitar and female singer join later. Picks up a bit but stays pastoral. Become richer with vocals and tempo toward the end. | ||
