Listening diary 10th June, 2021: Kotebel - Fragments of Light (symphonic prog, 2003)

Kotebel are one of the almost-bands of the much-derided modern symphonic prog scene. They're clearly leagues above many of the other names in terms of creativity, which is owed much to the band's chamber roots and influence from the Rock in Opposition scene, but it still falls flat in plenty of places. The biggest issue is that it's so bloated, with many sections plodding on for near-nauseating extremes. The best symph prog is manic and condensed, and this doesn't get anywhere near that, although there are bits of pleasantry.

4.8 (2nd listen)
