CLOWNS

The screaming, over-the-top vocals does it's best to kill this album......... and succeed. The melodies are OK, but nothing special. The rhythms are interesting and there are some interesting details in the music. The music is somewhere between RIO, Italian Symphonic Prog, Eclectic Prog, Canterbury scene and Fusion. They comes across as a blend of New Trolls, Egg and Osanna. That's the instrumental side of this album. The children choir and the funny guitars are good. But where there are light, the vocals soon wreaks havoc. I find it almost an impossible task to listen to this album. The melodies are also pretty staccato with a thumping rhythm in the bottom. There are even some African rhythms here with good references to the likes of Osibasa. This is a very special album which may appeal to the Canterbury Scene fan as well as the Italian scene fan. I am a bit confused what to award it, but falls down on an inoffensive 3 stars.
