SQUARE THE CIRCLE

"Square The Circle" is the strong debut album from the Dutch neo-prog band TRIANGLE. They are blending 80's and 90's neo-progressive rock to a mix that is somewhere between DREAM THEATER, IQ, JADIS, M'ARILLION, ROCKET SCIENTISTS, RUSH and SAGA. It's all very good: The musicians, the clear dynamic production, the complex compositions, the strong melodies, the clever arrangements and the vocal performance by Martijn Paasschens. Four out of the seven tracks is +10 minutes. The highlights are "Chasing The Shadows", the complex "The Center Shines", the longest composition "Pygmalion" that is +13 minutes and the closing "Nature's Window". The magnificent artwork is made by the "artwork-master", Mattias Norén from Sweden. This is neo-progressive rock at its best, and it might be one of the better debut albums in 2000. Highly recommended!
