Random Track of the Day
Friday, August 12 2011
Well, Jackhammer
will be pleased! One of his favourite bands has come up in the crapshoot I call “Random Track of the Day”: Riverside, whose albums I have but have not yet listened to. So it's an opportunity for me also to get a feel for this Polish prog rock band. A long track indeed, taken from the “Live at Nearfest” bootleg CD, but originally from the album of the same name.
Second life syndrome --- Riverside --- originally from “Second life syndrome” on InsideOut
It's certainly got all the progrock mores in there: long instrumental passages, key and signature changes, atmospheric and also rocky. Great vocals, excellent keyboards. Like the sound of this. Guitar sounds very early Marillion, like the best Steve Rothery work. I must say, for a sixteen-minute song it went pretty quickly, which is always a good indication of decent music.
Must make a note to check these guys out further!
