GOD HAS FAILED - LIVE & PERSONAL

This is a new recording in the studios of their first album which I didn't hear, so It was with a little excitement that I was discovering their first album after listening to their more recent releases live or in studios. If the Pink Floyd influence is their trademark, it's even more obvious here with some ballad atmospheric parts and dreamy soundscapes. The sound is more on the soft side than their recent releases but the strong quality of their melodies is still there, I can't compare to the original recording, but we can assume that they did a better job to produce that new version many years later. The band's music is embellished with the voice of Yogi with some female backup singers that can only remind us of Pink Floyd again. The band makes good use of some acoustic guitar and piano to go with some spacey keyboards and an electric guitar that can deliver some nice guitar parts sometimes in the David Gilmour style, but no that much, for example in the song "Fool". The real highlight is the song "Spring of Freedom" with a break that slows things down and that starts with some special effect with bass and keys shinning before a great guitar part. This is another good album that is carefully mix in surround for our enjoyment. RPWL can't fail...
