Sound quality is also little poorer, though song are otherwise good, containing also dramatic and moody phases and creating interesting tunes for listening if you like the record otherwise. CD version has some bonus tracks, which have heavier guitar/keyboard riffs than the original release songs. All of the tunes are very good, though maybe the most wildest experiments like song "One Way Street" weren't a highlight for me, though not irritating experience either. The songs flow as logical and pleasant entities, and the experimental freak out moments are also logical components, not jokes out of the context. Also a slighlty down-to-earth & hornless version of Soft Machine could be one way to describe the music with a comparison. There are no hit-songs included, and there is also male vocals present. The keyboard driven sound with a lady singer and jazzy rhythm section with few visits of violin brings to me associations of some early Curved Air songs, though the overall quality of Zyma's music is in my opinion mostly better, focusing to more compact amount of elements. Long tracks build up from only few themes, which are explored trough long jam passages. There is very Brittish sounding and good, laid back hippie jazz-rock with some quite experimental phases found from this record. ![]() Posted Thursday, Aug| Review this album | Report (Review #87525) Progressive rock coming from Germany and I'd highly recommend it in particular to any Suffering a bit from too much hiss in the vocal mix they're offering a nice additionĪnd can't narrow the overall good impression of this album at all.Īs a summary I can say that this represents a brilliant example of Canterbury-styled The two blues-tinged and harder-edged bonus tracks are not quite asīrilliant but by no means a complete failure.
