From the great reservoir of so-called 'clone' albums comes one that almost seems like an
exile from the Yes discography. Ibis, presumably named for the sacred birds of the ancient
Egyptians, was an offshoot of New Trolls and their 'Sun Supreme' album paid more than a
nod and a wink to Anderson, Squire, Howe et al. Hopefully that doesn't completely put the
kibosh on the album because from a purely musical point of view it sits comfortably within
the 'excellent' category, but for me its lack of originality makes it just another good sheep
amongst the large flock.The lyrics even smack of Jon Anderson at the peak of his spiritual highlands: 'to repossess we overflow, into time, into mind, into space, into out, outwards on, onward flow'. Sound familiar? Overall 'Sun Supreme' is certainly a luxurious-sounding album but its lack of Italianate features might actually make it of greater appeal to symphonic rather than RPI fans.
