Review by Windhawk
SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Honorary Collaborator

US band 17 PYGMIES started out back in 1982, and at least in the initial phase of their career, which lasted into sometime in the '90s, they were regarded as a post-punk band. The band revived in 2007, and has since then released a handful of conceptual albums, exploring a style much closer to what many would describe as progressive rock. "Isabel II: Abaddon Rising" is their most recent outing, released towards the end of 2015through the US label Trakwerx.

Those fond of dream-laden, subtle moods and atmospheres and the elegance of beauty explored and delivered in a more subtle and careful manner should delight in the material found on this CD, as well as with most, if not all, of the other productions that have come courtesy of this US band. Those who feel intrigued by music that is actually described as celestial in such a context should take note of this CD for further inspection.
