PROGRESSIVE ROCK COVERS

A rather nice collection of cover tunes here, and a release mostly of interest to people into the art of cover tunes.

Blue Shift has the best track here with an energetic version of "Immigrant Song".

Very good performances also by Quidam with their live and mellow version of "Child in Time", Halloweens emotional piano ballad version of "House with No Door", Now with their crisp and clean version of "Kashmir" with multi-layered vocal parts, Dificil Equilibrio for their psychedelic space explosion of a song and Visible Winds garage-rock tinted version of "Strange Days".

Nice but not exceptional performances by Pangea, Ars Nova, London Underground and Thierry Crusem. Gerards Toccata gets tedious with a lot of soloing, especially the long drum workouts. And Twenty-Four Hours song here is killed by an extremely sharp drumsound placed way too high in the mix.

Overall a good sampler in my opinion.
