Light (France) for "prog rock" or sympkonic

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Difficult to pigeonhole them in a single category, the French combo called Light has issued their firt album called The Path, and it's a very ambitious real winner too. 

It's not just "sympkonic", though there is a lot of that.
