Customer Review

When I "Ghosts of Pripyat" the third or fourth time fully sounded, I suddenly had a collage by Kurt Schwitters in mind: The Dadaist added geometric shapes, letters which also newspaper clippings to masterful blending together - some reproductions hanging in our house, so probably the association. Steve Rothery worked artistically very similar - in terms of timbre of the guitar and with the countless varieties of rock.

Take, for example, the input piece "Morpheus": The first good three minutes sound like a piece of the end of 2014 appeared Pink Floyd album "The Endless River" - I great find personally, but see what many critics quite different. Then it will be much more rock, from about 4:30 suddenly shines a sound and rhythm, which could also come from Police / Sting. To be replaced immediately by - best listen and myself let me think.

The second song "Kendris" begins as a song by Peter Gabriel to get then added a track Toto - or something completely unique. Towards the end emerge sounds that you've heard the mid-70, to be replaced ...

"Old Man of the Sea" is then a collage in the collage. The beginning sounds like the Canadian band "Mystery", then a touch guitar in the style of David Gilmour - is often cited his guitar tone on the disc. At 4:40 then peels a completely new design from the sound of the sea: Blues-rock are the three "Steve" Steve Rothery, Steve Hacket ("Genesis") and Steven Wilson from time traveling before at 7:10 the final of this song is opened - a touch "Boston" (as in "More Than a Feeling"), which is then overlaid by ...

In Pink Floyd-style is "White Pass" opens, but starting at about 0:40, it sounds like the rhythm a bit like Chris Rhea. And that's the attraction of: Gilmoure-lead guitar sound to Chris Rhea rhythm and Backgrund guitar color, mixed together so never heard. Brilliant. From 4.25 New Transformation: The date "toughest" Passage, a mixture of Genesis and ...

"Yesterday's Hero" sneaks with gentle guitar sounds on, is from 2:20 for the first time in the rhythm - quite easily - broken, from 3:15 suddenly sings a Hard Rock guitar to be pushed right back gently aside, but at 4:30 they conquered briefly their terrain back to be from 4.50 replaced with completely different sounds. Why only reminds me here of Alan Parsons? Fascinating! And the final sounds like ...

In "Summer's End" is grooved first left-sluggish like JJ Cale - or Eric Clapton. See you sit on the porch with a cold glass of white wine. From 2:45 the end of summer with a new motif itself suggests, from 4:10 emerged the autumn on, until only a slight shiver, but then blows latest from 5.00 another Wind: Violently he ruffles the strings, is always stormy. Reminds suddenly in the timbre ...

What a guitar whispers outset of "The Ghost of Pripyat", almost makes you feel at Leo Kottke recalled. But that is 2.05 conclude now governed - Yes? Genesis? Emerson, Lake & Palmer? Or even Marillion? What a finale! That sounds like - a master of guitar Steve Rothery!

PS: Those who do not share my interpretations and very different rock colors and formations recognizes - Welcome to the infinite universe of rock music!
