Listen to Senogul - III

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

I've been a fan of Senogul's music since they released Tr?nsitos and I was floored by their 2007 s/t album, showcasing their eclecticism and affinity to various styles of music, from flamenco to tango to rock to jazz etc.

I've featured that album and the band here in the forum in various previous threads, and now that they've released their new album III it is time to do so again. Read reviews here.

Again, they show their quality craftsmanship at songwriting and musicianship, and write lovely melodies that mingle a variety of influences.

Here's the post I dedicated to the album on my blog:

The Spanish eclectics return...
Senogul
is a band that wears the tag Eclectic proudly on their sleeves. The
musicians in this band are not afraid to wet their toes, and even their
entire feet, inside waters of all kind. Be it rock, jazz, flamenco,
avant-garde, samba, tango, electronic, classical, you name it.

Senogul's latest release, III,
not only continues this path of theirs, but even broadens it. In here,
you will hear diverse styles, a plethora of influences, all intertwined
into a coherent piece of modern progressive music. 

This album is a non-stop musical
ride that travels various landscapes and gives you a taste of all those
different places. While this has the potential to be incoherent and
messy, in Senogul's hands you are safe. These talented musicians weave a
tapestry of alluring melodies in multiple guises and styles. If you
liked what you heard on their 2007 s/t album (which I reviewed here),
you'll love what they present here. An even more eclectic collection of
compositions, tight musicianship, liveliness and upbeat spirit and of
course beautiful tunes.

	Just listened to it yesterday (this morning.....) on progstreaming. A wonderful disc for sure. Modern progressive rock that cannot be lumped into "retro". I'll be picking it up soon. PS - Somebody with the authority should update the album page with the lineup.

	^ it's already there. I do like this band. Deserving of far more attention than they currently get.

	Oh is it? I checked yesterday (this morning) and it wasn't. Unless I'm confusing it with a different album.
