Second offer was issued two years later in 1996 named Boomerang. It's another good release, maybe in places little less intresting, but worthy neo prog, there is plenty of memorable sections here. I can say that Tea in the Sahara is unfairly unnoticed, because to me at least is sounding far more intresting then many neo prog acts from that period. The voice is more then ok, the instrumental parts are many times killer showing that the musicians really knowing to hadle the instruments. All pieces are good with a plus on opening Edging the Tongue and ending A Lamentation of a Scapegrace, both are lenghty pieces with a lot to offer, as neo prog must sounding. Again 3.5 stars maybe very close to a 4. Strong band that for some reason never made it in neo prog zone. Both albums worthing to be investigated.
