Статус: Наличен / In Stock

Exactly four years after the success with the brilliant double album "From land to ocean" they return with another winner. The classic Galleon sound blending vintage (Yes, Genesis) and modern styles (IQ, Arena) is still there, but also a fresh almost Rush-like energy and 70's style heavy rock a la Deep Purple is present.

" Swedish Galleon is already present on the musical scene for nearly 20 years, they started as a trio influenced by Rush. However, when Ulf Pettersson joined the band on keyboards, their music would soon become more symphonic and tend to seventies bands like Yes and Genesis. Meanwhile, they have already released their ninth studio album, nearly 4 years after the release of their widely praised double CD "From land to Ocean '.

The opener AI may have taken a bit longer, because it shows that typical symphonic atmosphere with nice laid back guitar, where Swedish bands seem to stand for. Galleon was in the past not really known for super complex music, but with songs like The Assemblers and Signals they have delivered beautiful symphonic works with strong compositions. Although keyboards still play an important role, you get the impression that the guitar is far more present than on previous albums. The drums also sound a little more dynamic, perhaps the presence of the new drummer Goran Johnsson is causing this, it is perhaps surprising that the latter plays keyboards with Cross. And it seems as if they return to their roots, "Engines of Creation" is clearly inspired by Rush, both musically and vocally. In State Insane the guitars sound just a little harder and you hear even a hint of "progressive metal", but as it seems obvious for progressive guys, they alternate it with an acoustic passage.

Towards the end of the album, the songs are also slightly longer and more vintage keyboards comes to the foreground, Men & Monsters is a very progressive piece with jazzy influences, here, I inadvertently must remind of The Flower Kings. This album also contains some excellent guitar solos, the sound of the guitar tends more to the hard rock of the seventies than to neo-prog, the style where Galleon might be wrongly placed by many reviewers. Mother Machine also shows the best of all musicians, first solid guitar rock alternated with synthesizers, voices through a megaphone in old-style vinyl accompanied by piano gives this issue an extra dimension.

Lightworks closes the album perfectly and simultaneously proves that the group has indeed evolved compared to previous albums. You can actually still find traces of groups such as IQ, Marillion and other progressive leading bands. But they have developed their own particular style, which sets them apart from mediocrity. This is one of the better albums of the group and is certainly recommended."
