GO

The second You and I album is a clear step-up from the debut record: now they have a living drummer in the band. You and I for me has been always one of the best prog bands from Hungary. This time they've kept a little distance from their YES influences and took a more original direction.

There is everything I liked on their first album, the music is still very melodic, very accessible, catchy and Völgyessy Szomor Fanni's voice is more powerful on this album. Thanks to the new keyboard player, Szabó Gergő the music went to a more GENESIS-like direction but the guitars reminded me of DAVID GILMOUR's well crafted tones. Once again, Dorogi Károly's bass brings the YES-like musical formulas.

Favorite track, the 12 minute long Invisible Ties and Snowdance, while Moonsong is probably the most beautiful pop song I've ever heard.

On this album lyrics are completely in English, so it's a more accessible for the international fans of melodic symphonic prog. Not an earth-shattering album, but still it is recommended, since it's highly enjoyable. 3.5 shiny prog stars for this one.
