TRESPASS

"Coto lyrics" is long 44 minutes. One thing that if you put it on then forget it. It has a beginning that is a joy: you remember the early 70s, nostalgia coward.

Andreas Schuller's voice is certainly not that of Peter Gabriel, who tries to look like, but often makes you shudder. Listen to the first five or six minutes, where the keyboards Helge Weber accompany the singing of Schuller.

It easy to say that they look like Genesis or Marillion ... There's no point making comparisons. We listen to what they have to say, their ideas, their dreams ...

Of course, if instead they could live disc recorded in the studio, things would have been different. For the better. There are times that a manufacturer would solve otherwise. The vocals are sometimes excessive. There are repetitions that were removed cleanly. Scissors in hand.

"Coto lyrics" has the potential to be something big. Too bad. I mean, 44 minutes is a lot to handle. Some say it looks like Supper's ready ... Trespass that wanted to imitate that song ... I don't know. I only know that a good producer would "Coto lyrics" a masterpiece. There are times when the music becomes beautiful and even if you find yourself distracted involved, suddenly.

With all the respect. To the musicians who had their papers in order.

Long live the prog, my friends.

This album consists of three songs. One long and two short ones. The sound is good on the long song and pretty muddy on the final two songs. I don't get the feeling that the same record studio has been used throughout this album.

Genesis only shows up on the two final songs Luna Walk (in particular) and on Beggars Of Paris. The forty-four minutes long main song Crew Of The Orion contains a lot of references to the likes of Pendragon and Saga (the Canadian pomp prog band) and hardly any references to Genesis. And Marillion...........well...... no. This song is a total overkill which does not get any better after ten listening sessions. It is a pomp prog & neo prog pastisj..... of nothing. The two mercifully shorter ones Luna Walk Beggars Of Paris is slightly better though.

It is the order of the nature that some organisms is good and some is at best mediocre. This album is in the latter category. This is not a good album and it is only saved by the two short songs. The long one is more a torture instrument than a proper prog rock epic. This is not for me, I am afraid.
