LONG SEASON

The Fishmans are a neat band and it's about time they were added to the archives, I'm not super familiar with this band other then a few songs here and there but everything I've heard from them is good, I decided to check out this album after I saw someone say something along the lines of this being the 90s equivalent to Pink Floyd's Echoes, now whether or not that's true it intrigued me. The album is a 36 minute song spanning multiple sections like a classic prog album but with modern influences. The song is very psychedelic but lush, it sort of has a Post Minimalism thing going on here, sort of reminds me of Steve Reich's Music for 18 Musicians especially with the keys and little sounds that add detail to the song like sounds of water dripping and chimes. The song has a noisy (almost LoFi) section, it's sprinkled with sounds of chimes and lazer? Sounds, it's amazing really. Around the 26 minute mark the song goes full Steve Reich and I love it, it's probably my favorite section of the song. The song has a little reprise and a grand finale that finishes it off overall an amazing song/album that definitely should be recognized by prog fans more often
