Disperse is a young band from Poland releasing this year their acclaimed debute named Journey
Through the Hidden Gardens. I can say from the beggining that I find this album a very pleasent one,
with catchy tunes, complex parts but far from being a masterpice of today's prog music. The music is
defintly towards neo prog, specially on vocal department but aswell has some hints of progressive
metal here and there. This is not a progresive metal in tratidional way, even in places some
Riverside or even Osada Vida can be traced. The linear section in parts remind me a lot of neo prog
bands from Poland, like Collage for instance. The melodic parts are very well melted with the
rougher ones, creating a great album, with diffrent moods and fantastic songwritting. Guitar playing
from Jakub Zytecki and great moments offered by keybordist Rafal Biernacki who is also the vocalist
worth having this album. While is not really in the Iq or Pendragon category but aswell not in DT
style , Disperse really known to create something pleasent and full of intristing chops. Best pieces
, Reflection of a Dying World, the intro here is a killer with intristing guitar meets keys of the
highest calibre and Above Clouds, the rest are ok, well developed in musical termes, lenghty with
complex and catchy musicianship. I will give 3.5 rounded to 4, while is a good album is not quite a
masterpiece as many listners pretend to be but not a 2 star album aswell.
