EURHYBIA
Neo-Prog • France
From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

Very little is known about the origins of this band or what became of them. What we do know is that they were a French Neo Progressive rock quintet who released one eponymous album in 1990 on French label UGUM.
The material (sung in English) is a blend of SAGA, RUSH, PALLAS, old MARILLION and KANSAS; some tracks will undoubtedly remind you of Rabin-era YES.
Certainly not essential but may be of some interest to neo-prog fans.

The style of Eurhybia was full-blown, dynamic Neo Prog with strong symphonic leanings in the vein of COLLAGE, IQ or DEYSS.The music is loaded with tons of keyboards and powerful guitars, accompanied by Serge Legall's passionate, non-accented vocals.Semi-long tracks with an energetic approach, containing plenty of breaks, symphonic interludes, dynamic rhythm guitars but also some decent melodic tunes, always balanced between vocal and instrumental passages.The sound of the synthesizers is quiet thin and plastic at moments, but this flaw has been overcome by the overall strong composing skills of the group.Pascal Dottel, a talented guitarist, shows a tendency towards sharp riffing and melodic solos, but the musicianship remains basically driven by the huge synth waves of keyboardist Fabrice Dottel and his ability to produce emphatic atmospheres through his workouts.Additionally the style is far from easy-going, the breaks are numerous and there is also a fair dose of interplays to be found in ''Eurhybia''.
Not only Eurhybia became an obscure name of the prog scene through the years, but nothing has been heard about any of the band's members.Their sole release remains a very strong output of modern Neo/Symphonic Progressive Rock with some great guitar and keyboard parts.Strongly recommended. ..3.5 stars.

Review by gingernut

Hmmmmm, I recently had the opportunity to listen to this again after many many years. I thought that maybe, my original thoughts on this album might have been too hasty. Unfortuneately not. I'm giving this album only 1 star, not because it is all rubbish, but because a small proportion of it is actually very very good. Or rather, I think it is.
Take the first track, The Tightrope Walker. The first 2:30 instrumental introduction is quite fantastic, reminding of Pallas at their very best. But then the vocals kick in. The problem here is mainly that there is no recognisable melody.
The same is true of the next two tracks, but there is no redeeming instrumental intro.
Track 4, the title track, is entirely instrumental and this is rather good, althought just a little bit clumsy in execution.
Track 6 mirrors track 1. This time just 2 minutes of wonderful music at the start.
I had hopes that the final instrumental, as the longest track, would show some signs of life, but to me it almost sounds improvised. Keyboards parp all over the place seemingly at random. Only towards the end does some kind of structure emerge, but not enough to save it. For free-form jazz fans only!
Just my opinion of course.
