THE SHADOW OF DREAMS

This is the debut CD by an English band originating from South Wales. The OTHELLO SYNDROME is one of the most exciting bands from England recently. GENESIS, but most of all VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR influence them. There are many reminiscences to VAN DER FRAAF GENERATOR ca. "H to He Who am the Only One" (1970), and this fact is surely attracting me. The vocals are also sometimes reminiscent to Peter HAMMILL.

The highlight is the track " Interlecherality". The album has guest appearances by members from CYAN, and I guess that the GENESIS reminiscences is much due to them. A unique band with a unique sound, and not one of the many ordinary progressive bands today. Highly recommended!
