 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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNPCS178H8g

| 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. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |
