TRACE

Add another half star. A power trio that wanted to leave a "Trace" in rock history but failed to reach such an achievement, and mainly because there is not a real gem in this first effort. Their technical ability is great, being these three men the most celebrated dutch musicians of the '70, and everybody who likes keyboard driven rock in the vein of ELP will enjoy the Musea reissue (which includes a and b side of the Philips 7" that in 1974 anticipated the release of the album). The music, however, is exactly what you can easily expect, Focus meets Ekseption, without a real development. An enjoyable addiction to your prog collection, but not really a masterpiece.
