EURHYBIA

Eurhybia is an obscure neo prog band from France who manage to release only one album in 1990 at UGUM label. I was very pleasent surprised what I've heared here, really a fantastic album, excellent musicianship and above all every single piece is a total winner for me. The album benifits from Francis Decamps production, one of the brother of already famous Ange. What stroke me every time I hear this album is a big amount of keybords and how intristing is construncted the pieces, very well done with lots of brilliant moments. Long piece, complex , well elaborated, where the guitar and keybords have an important role. Much more elastic in manner of composing then many neo prog bands I've heared, maybe at some point similar with Pallas, but Eurhybia for sure has their one style and own twists. Very good is the voice of Serge Legall, who doesn't have that specific accent of non-english language speakers, I easely can say that is an english singer. From the great cover art, everything is briliant, with the cherry on the cake of two amazing instrumentals, Eurhybia and House of Cards, the longest piece of the album, where all musicians simply shine. I saw on other prog pages, that this album is a copy of previous neo prog bands, not at all true, this is one of the most exciting neo prog albums I've ever heared in long time. Thosse who can find this unknown band give a spin worth it every second. The CD was at Musea records , but is out of stock for years, no wonder because is an album to colect. 4 stars easy and recommended.
