IMAGINACJE

In a poll on our forum not too long ago about our (5) favourite female prog vocalists I made sure I was not to forget to mention Marta Glowacka from this band Anamor. What a caress for human ears it is to hear this lady sing. She's in the same league as Susie Bogdanowicz (Glass Hammer) and Maïko (Arrakeen) as far as I'm concerned. And that happens to be the very highest league thinkable in my opinion.

Besides this terrific vocalist the band has very skilled musicians (especially the guitarist) and also writes some excellent songs to make the perfect package complete. All in all it makes this band Anamor very comparable to French neo band Arrakeen which happens to excell in the same categories. Also fellow countrymen Albion comes to mind with the same qualities.

So if you know these bands and like them a lot you can buy this album without hesitation. I really don't understand why this band has made only one album. Because if you have such enormous potential in both compositional and executional aspect, you would expect more than just one release from 2003. I hope they surprise me one day with a successor. I even seriously consider to give this album the full 5 since it's just about perfect. It's just that I save these rewards for the true masterpieces and this is just not there alas. But it's more than excellent and therefore deserves 4 stars easily (4,3). Highly recommended for fans of flawless and smooth neo prog.
