NATURAL SELECTION

This is my first...Lands end record that is!! This is their 1997 album "Natural selection". By the sound of it..i really have to go back (in their catalogue that is)to search out the other albums...as this is indeed very good..its a bit on the..dare i say it..slow side... now dont get me wrong..i like slow....time to digest the songs...to listen to the lyrics... (cause the cover doesnt really cut it as a readable thing....its sort of a fuzzy lettering on a dark background.)There are some wonderfull guitar soloing (courtesy of mr.Neto.) In al,l this is a rather fabulous piece of prog music.....with hints to Floyd and..a well.. some of the other greats in prog music...still they are very much their own masters. I really like( love) track 2 and track 3.....with their remarkably long titles (and time- measures as they clock in respectivily at : 14:44 and 11:36) Its clearly a band to notice. So guys (an gals) into prog....Lands end,are a very well spoken(musically and lyrically) progband to get to know. Beautiful songs...well executed.... and the musicians are very capable.......so dont hesitate...when you meet them!! Go get ém!!!
