HYBRIS

This is the first one from that Swedish trilogy from 93 that made another Golden Age of prog and created if not a wide public, a wide array of band that followed on the heals of this one and Landbrek and Anekdoten. The influences here are clear Genesis, KC, Yes etc,,, but so well digested that this becomes original again . As one listens to this with the headphones, his head starts to turn as the music twists bends, twirls, dances from one movement to the next. Mind boggling how they can find their way through the numbers in concert. I just have one slight complain: the first number might have been placed last on the album for the sheer harshness of it makes it difficult to aboard this as it should. Every time I listen to this I program it as such: 2,3,4,1 and this goes exceedingly well.
