ALMOST PURE INSTRUMENTAL

I discovered After Crying through this album and all I can say is that it blew away my mind. This is an explosion of music. In API we have a bit of everything and the combination is superb. This band seems to have no limits: they move from classical music to hard rock (combined with big band sounds!), from prog rock to avant-garde and then to medieval. I really don't understand how people can waste their time with neo prog when bands like After Crying are playing out there. Their level is so high that I would rank them together with the big ones from the 70s (though technically they are better by far than any other prog band I know.) A must!!!
