FIRST KEY

I just bought the first Amos Key album on CD, and I am extremely impressed with the level of musicianship and composition. This is strong, hard-driving organ, drum and bass progressive rock absolutely in the Emerson, Lake and Palmer vein. This is an excellent find and sounds more British than most other German Prog bands I have heard. I expect to listen to this album quite a bit, and I am a bit surprised that this group has not come up in conversation more- probably as they recorded only one record. This is a mostly instrumental record, and while the vocals are not exceptional, they do fit in well with the overall feel of the record.
