A NIGHT FOR BAKU

I've heard a lot about this band, maybe because a lot of prog web sites are American and the reviews tend to be a tad chauvinist as regards American releases. Anyway, I gave Djam Karet a try with this album. Well, I must say I am disappointed. They've got the instruments, the talent but not the melodies. I get the feeling that they tend to stretch a couple of ideas but it just isn't satisfying enough for me to give it 4 stars. It is just below average. I'm sure this band will mature for the next albums. As regards influences, they are definitely close to King Crimson and the Red album.
