The Way
The album is a good mix of contemporary and vintage prog with a perfect balance between instruments, atmospheres and tempos.The style comes as a cross between Symphonic Rock in a GENESIS vein and MACHIAVEL-esque artistic Prog with melodic guitars and modern synthesizers representing the new Progressive Rock era, while a strong amount of analog keys with the mellotron on the forefront along with organs and harsichords add the appropriate retro feeling.Just a few moments with some complex heavier guitar parts are close to KING CRIMSON.However all compositions breathe a fresh air of harmony with a very rich sound and intelligent songwriting, characterized by the delicate keyboard flashes, the accesible guitar chops and the symphonic mellotron.Add also a vocalist, who sounds a lot like PETER GABRIEL and delivers nice dramatic vocals, and the picture is completed.The musicianship is rather easy-listening despite the numerous shifting moods and the album can be heard also by an amateur of the prog style.
