AREKNAMÉS

I've been listening to dozens of prog CD'S over the past six months(since my wild manic spree of buying on-line) and I must admit this humble disc has brought me more enjoyment than many of the "essential" releases I've heard.The band name-checks loads of old prog bands(VDGG, Nice, Atomic Rooster) and sure enought they sound like those bands, along with some more obscure groups such as Indian Summer or Quatermass. Lots of great keyboards (including mellotron-lots of mellotron!) recorded with a fat analogue sound so familiar to the above mentioned groups. If you love early 70's prog and you don't demand that everything has to be original, then go for this guilty pleasure. You won't be disappointed.3.5 stars. Keep on Proggin'
