SPEKTRUM

Just EXCELLENT. Formed by musicians from another great swedish progressive rock bands, I would like that this band could have another album. By difference with some other female singers, Gisette Von Panajott, has a fantastic voice full of cohesion and power, and the keyboards sound very very in a Tony Banks way. Despiting the intro (almost nothing in terms of time), the opening Land of longing is a good track, but the best becomes after it, cos the song Now is a stunning prog number. The keyboard solo is just incredible (Hey Tony, wasn't you there?). Perpetum mobile is an acceptable instrumental pice, and The Quest is another great track with good solos too. Ivory Tower is a powerfull song in which Von Panajott really shines with the melody line over a good electric guitar support.. Finally A Chemical Release is the other highlight, another superb progressive rock track, and long enough to enjoy this kind of music. Again the voices on the melody line sounds great and again too, the full orchestra keyboard closing section is stunning. I really enjoy this album, and I can not give it less than five stars.
