7 for 4 is a german jazz fusion band who has three albums since now. This one Time is their second
one from 2004. Hmm intristing combinations of jazz - fusion prog metal . The album is mainly
instrumental with some exceptions, that means they have enough space to demonstarate their skills in
prog music. The musicians are very talented , that is clear when you pieces like:
Zeitgeist,TempERAmento or Where Are You Now (with a beautiful female voice of Conny Kreitmeier), the
rest of the pieces are ok, but sometimes is to much noodleings that makes me go to sleep, nothing
special, but as whole the album is a good one. We have here as main composer the guitarist from the
famous german prog metal band Sieges Even - Wolfgang Zenk. He knew how to create something pleasent
combining some very intristing riffs with some pleasent and very intriguing solos - from jazz
smoothness to some latin parts here and there, some prog metal chops melted with jazz give to the
listner a special atmosphere. So a good album, that desearves for sure 3.5 stars, I can't give more
because of that parts that are a little boring. Worth couple of spins, nothing groundbreaking but ok
and inventive in places, similar with Anomaly (the dutch one), LTE or Gordian Knot.
