Excellent album. If you like truly progressive music. John Coltrane. To listen to something you have never heard before….that might be difficult at first, but rewarding in the long-term. Definitely check out Magma, The 40th Anniversary Box Set is a great way to continue or start. Christian Vander is one of the best drummers of all-time. It’s progressive rock, but in a sub-genre all it’s own called “Zeuhl”, based on the made up language that it’s sung in. All of their albums center around the Science Fiction of a Secret Planet called Kobia. They are from France, been around since the 70s…. They sing in a chorus Trio, and are famed for including with Christian Vander some of the best musicians of any era. A lot of modern Prog, doesn’t really push the envelope, what today is Post-Progressive or Neo-Prog….these guys, the bands at Cuneiform Records, and on the gnosis2000.net review site…..true Progressive Rock.
