EVIDENCE

Danish band project TAYLOR'S UNIVERSE was formed back in 1993, launching their first album the following year and releasing two more prior to the end of the 1990's. From 2004 and onwards this band has been very active, issuing an album a year on average from that point in time and onwards. "Evidence" is the most recent production by Taylor's Universe, their thirteenth in total and the second of the two albums they released in 2013.

On the thirteenth album released under the Taylor's Universe moniker, we're treated to a veteran band that seeks to expand the scope of their chosen universe by way of increased focus on instrumental soloing in general and fairly intense, guitar soloing in particular. A rougher, untamed element unleashed in the otherwise elegant and carefully assembled symphonic progressive rock and jazz rock-tinged landscapes that have been this band's specialty, with compositions more vital in nature and expression as the result. An album that merits a firm recommendation to fans of high-quality instrumental progressive rock.
