Lethe's album starts off rather inconspicuously with a classically oriented oboe, acoustic guitar and piano piece. But, just as Mirror before them, the band launches into a sophisticated, but highly melodic progressive rock form. And while Side 1 is good, side 2 is an absolute clinic on how to combine complexity and yet still maintain a strong melodic backbone. This is the album that Camel never made after "Moonmadness". Astounding album really.

I'm only familiar with another LETHE, form Italy, who released one great album and has written many fine reviews here on this site.  I'll have to look up the Dutch Lethe

I noticed that as well Ken, some good ratings on RYM for the Dutch LETHE.
Thanks for the heads up Pierre.
