REJOICE

Rejoice - quite good and abscure band from Germany with only one album issued so far in 1997 self titled at Mellow records. This is instrumental keyboard oriented album minus lat track Prophecy featuring backing vocals, but with a good amount of guitar passagesaswell here and there. Virtuosic playing by both musicians Martin Ziegler keyboards and guitars and drumer Rudi Leichtle, not a boring moment here, title track or Sahara and the rest are great pieces for sure with tempo change and nice high energy climates. All in all afairly more then decent release, from me 3.5 stars for sure. A nice forgotten little album.

Keyboards/ guitar and drums duo mining the typical veins of progressive rock (Emerson, Wakeman, Banks). The guitar playing is rudimentary, the keyboards and drums are workman like. In case your wondering who the woman is pictured on the back of the CD, she provides wordless vocals on the last track. Beware the muddy mix of the CD.
