Journey to the East
Castanarc Neo-Prog

Review by Warthur
Prog Reviewer

An enchanting release from the first wave of neo-prog, featuring a sound a lot like early Marillion but with a more pronounced Yes influence - particularly when it comes to Mark Holiday's vocals, which include more than a few hints of Jon Anderson's delivery. Paul Ineson rivals Steve Rothery when it comes to long, drawn-out David Gilmour-inspired guitar solos, whilst the keyboard work of David Powell is a constant feature of the album, and is rather charming. Whilst I wouldn't put the album in the top flight of neo-prog releases from the era, it's most of the way there, and they certainly don't deserve the comparative obscurity they seem to have fallen into compared to the likes of Pallas, Solstice and other neo-prog also-rans from the period.

Burnt Offerings
Castanarc Neo-Prog

Review by Marty McFly
Special Collaborator Crossover and E&O Teams

This music continues to confuse me since I've get to know it. It's soft neo-prog I suppose (nothing synthy like Pendragon, or dark as Arena), but there's something absolutely unique. Each song is started by... well, intro, ranging from about 10-30 seconds. Directly first one is crazy enough to make me interested in. But music itself is weak. Too shallow to be special and too influences by era from which this albums emerges (oh yeah, I'm another one who hates sound of 80's, so be it then).

3(-), Pleasant melodies, there's no dispute in it, but not much on this release. Maybe their other ones are better.

Little Gods
Castanarc Neo-Prog

Review by robbob

Well, a decent album. Very easy listening songs . Nothing complex here. Good elaborated melodies but to short to make a really artistic evaluation.

Good songs,very melodic and pleasent.

Arrangements are quite good but there is a lack here of strength and emotions, so finally you find a quite boring album

For the ones who like the ligther side of neo prog a good album. For the ones who are searching for simmilar to the most creative and complex bands of the area such as old Marillion,IQ or Pendragon i think they are going to be a little dissapointed.

I don,t know to say if it was good that this one was their last album or not but the time orientation was in the line of light prog...so i wouldn,t expect then a very good next album.

3 stars(2,5 really)

Rude Politics
Castanarc Neo-Prog

Review by bensmeel

I was surprised not to find a review for this album, since it's one of the best albums in progressive rock. A bit Pink Floyd / Porcupine Tree like, but with a very own style. It has a very tranquil atmosphere, with occasional heavier parts. Songs that you can really dream away at without falling asleep. Occasional tribal-like rhythms keep it interesting. I don't know what more to say, except but buy it now!

Journey to the East
Castanarc Neo-Prog

Review by loserboy
Prog Reviewer Honorary Reviewer

CASTANARC's "Journey To The East"" is a real classic and is one of those light hearted progressive rock recordings with highly memorable songs. Standout for me here is the absolutely beautiful soft voice of Mark Holiday who I would say has one of the top voices. CASTANARC are a neo-prog act but never get too synthy for my liking instead delivering a gentle but complex offering which I am sure will please all prog heads. They never get too loud or out of control and keep focus on building vocal harmonies and beautiful sonic architecture. At times I think "Journey..." carries a slight Alan PARSONS touch. "Journey To The East" is a real cult prog classic and is a great album to sit and listen to.
