THE NECK PILLOW

I would describe the music on this album as "krautrock" or what is popularly referred to as "space rock", with influences also from neoprog bands such as Twelfth Night or early Marillion - especially in the keyboard work. But equally with references to Porcupine Tree, Genesis, Pink Floyd and Eloy. The music is simply very good and carries on the tradition of great German bands such as Grobschnitt and Novalis; and as far as any comparisons to a single album is possible, it is perhaps best compared to Grobschnitt's "Solar Music Live." Another thing that Inquire seem to have inherited from Grobschnitt is the same strange humor which can be noted every now and then, not only in the music itself but also clearly evident from the liner notes. To sum it up, this is a really captivating album and definitely one to savour.
