FLOATING WORLD

This is an interesting release, with lots of rich musical moods and to a certain extent original sounds. But it is not a good album per se, but hopefully a promising start where seeds of forthcoming greatness can be heard.

Musically we're speaking progressive metal, mixed with lots of ambient sounding moods; where the synth seems to be the central focus of the musical output. Despite of that; Ayreon was the closest musical reference I could make for this release - perhaps due to the science fiction story on display as well as the grandiosity of the soundscape served here.

What doesn't work in my point of view is the structure and coherence of some of the individual songs, as well as soundscapes that sometimes contain too many sounds fighting to be heard.
