LITTLE LUCID MOMENTS

This is the earliest album I own by this Norwegian trio. "Little Lucid Moments" was released in 2008, and it's hard to believe that they had released a dozen albums before this one. These guys have been releasing music since 1990. My first experience with this band was "Heavy Metal Fruit" a record that I just couldn't get it into. So I thought maybe this band just isn't for me until Todd from the site here actually sent me audio clips of "The Death Defying Unicorn" and I was sold.

I wish this had been the record I bought first. We get four long tracks ranging from over 11 minutes to over 21 minutes. And while this is far from being revolutionary music, it works quite well for my tastes. It's just hard to believe how simple but good this is. A lot for of jamming on this one and the guitar leads the way most of the time. They change it up enough to make it interesting but I get that many Prog fans would be left wanting more.

I just really enjoy their sound here. Mostly led by the guitar and drums but two of the members add keys, mostly for atmosphere. Then an guest adds fx to the proceedings. The bass could be more upfront, and I should mention we get vocals on here as well. A very uniform sounding record which I like. There really isn't a weak song or even a favourite for me. It's all good! Very consistent. I felt like I was taking a chance on this one, but when it went on sale I bit. Really glad I did.
