3 stars I am the first one to admit that female fronted fusion of AOR and Neo-Prog is not my cup of tea.

Harvest is a Spanish band they have offered a free download of this album on their homepage in addition to selling normal CDs. See my interview with the band. Their music is very much a type of commercial Neo-Prog meets rock meets AOR meets prog metal. The music is based on tangents and some guitars. The sound is very much like 2009 with a contemporary feel. References are Magenta and "insert any British female fronted prog band here". In short; the type of band Classic Rock Presents Prog focus on too much for my liking. The music is not particular hard, although it has some prog metal elements. It also have some electronica elements too, but thankfully not many of them.

The music here is kind of proggy, but the orthodox prog heads here (no names mentioned.....) would probably get into a fit if confronted with this album. But the music is pretty good thoughout. There is no real killer tracks and no signature tracks here which would make Harvest stand out from the crowd. But their music is commercial and it is my understanding they have got quite a big fanbase. It is also their debut album and a good one too. My stars reflects the fact that with the exception of Magenta; I am not that fond of this type of music. But fans of Magenta should really check out this free download and then send the band some euros for the CD if they like what they hear.
