A CHILD IN THE MIRROR

Ciccada from Greece offers a very entertaing album and pleasent most of the time. A child in the mirror is the name of the album released in 2010 and is for many listners a very good one, ok with that , the minus of the album at least for me is the voice of Evangelia Kozoni, who fits perfectly is this prog folk atmosphre, but to my ears his tone and his vocal manuvres are to swell or cool for my taste. Anyway the instrumental arrangements are more then ok with some fantastic parts like the opeing track or another highlight being A Storyteller's Dream. Well performed folk prog with caterbury and eclectic passages here and there, some Gentle Giant parts meets Gryphon, not band at all in the end but I can't express my total delight for this album overall. A good debute for these greeks who presented an enjoyble album but to me at least is nothing really impressive. 3 stars for A child in the mirror.
