BORN

This album is firmly rooted in the early seventies, almost like a lost album of one of the mentioned bands.

Obviously, there's a mellotron. And keystrokes similar to Wakeman and Lord.

Born is only 20 seconds old and I already hear ELP and Focus. At a certain point, there's also some Pink Floyd, like a David Gilmour on speed. It is nice enough, but nothing special. 7/10

Descending Us sounds very similar to Child in Time. I consider it a homage. 6.5/10

For Yesterday has a Crimson flavour to it. And a strong reference to the guitar solos of Echoes and the Atom Heart Mother suite. Nice. 7/10

Cosmic Tears has the mellotron and now familiar guitar. Even more Gilmour-like, especially the solos. I have to say, the track is very monotonous. 6/10

Another Time is akin to KC's stuff on Red, mixed with some Deep Purple organs and guitars. 7/10

Long Way Down is a mashup I rather hate. Especially the end is extremely messy to me. Yes, I notice the references to ITCOTCK. But they leave me cold. 5/10

All tracks are rather slowish, there's not a whole lot of variety here. I rate this one 2 stars. Recommended to people that wish to uncover unknown pieces of music from the early seventies, although it's from 2022. Not to people who wish to see bands pushing the envelope.
