4 stars It's something amazing to find out there's a progressive rock band emerge from my country and quite wellknown, despite the fact that they had to travel far to countries to make them heard. I don't have their first album because I was late to find it in local music stores but I bought their second album "Tot Licht" and since I didn't know much about this band I was hoping I would find something like Yes, E.L.P, Genesis or Gentle Giant, but I was surprised. Their music is far from symphonic progressive rock, their music is so complex, fragmented (I think), complicated with lots of ethnical sounds and they did play ethinical-traditional instruments in this album. I think they blend rock with elements of jazz, ethnical music and even heavy metal (you can hear from the guitar riffs, it's loud and rough ala heavy metal). I even think the sound of the guitar drowns the keyboard sound. Honestly, it's hard for me to digest their music, I had spinned the cd for many times but still I couldn't accept their (whole) music. All in all, it's a very amazing band and I really salute them! And eventhough I'm still digesting their music but I'm so anxious to get and hear their other projects... I'm proud my country has something more beautiful in music rather than boys band and other cheap music. If you like dream theater, symphony x or other progs with a lot of guitar sounds then I really recommend this band, DISCUS.
