Nog 1-tje uit mijn cd collectie....


Very good German late seventies band, with GENESIS and ELOY influences. Their first album has a brilliant long suite, "Adonis", where any prog fan can enjoy all the best elements of the genre: excellent guitar and keyboards interplay, rythmical changes and very nice melodies flowing between symphonic and spacey moments.
"Blue House" is an instrumental piece, very good indeed, atmospheric and intense, melodically beautiful.

"Sally" is the weakest point even when it isn't a bad song, but far from the majestic found in the remaining themes. Just a simple rock with saxophone touches.

Finally, "Anyone's Daughter" shows again what the band is able to do. Another magnificent piece with symphonic and spacey tunes, in the same vein of some classic German bands (ELOY, NOVALIS) but not so rough.

A recommended album, specially for those who like the German seventies scene and the GENESIS symphonic way.
