ALL ALONG THIS LAND

3,5 stars really . How already said in your review (#928117) the Prog Reviewer b_olariu (Posted Monday, March 11, 2013) , the North-American band THE SOURCE in their first album "All Along This Land" "is a young retro prog band ", and maybe due this fact this first album is "easy to digest". The main characteristic from this work is the almost complete prevalence of sound from guitars with a "taste" from Steve Howe's arrangements. Another detachable point is the repetition from very similar passages in different tracks ( as in the case of first and second tracks, with a "break" section, starting in the first track about 4min 54 sec and in the second about 3 min and 17 sec) , however this is easy to explain due they make part from album title musical "suite" "All Along this land". The best moment of this suite as in the track 4 with a wonderful overture ! Other great moment is the track 6 "Bridges" with a soft and a duet between bass and drums. The track 7 shows a certain GENTLE GIANT's influence. The track 9 "Unspoken Love" is the more clearly evidence of YES reminiscence ( mainly in the passage after 5 min of execution ). Although is strong the guitar's arrangements in the musical "landscapes", all of musicians are very skilled and the album is very pleasant. My rate is 3 stars , but I reserve a place for this work im my collection !!!
