INDIFFERENT

For me this band their eponymous debut album belongs to the All Time Japanese Progrock Albums Top 10, so captivating and dynamic with excellent work on keyboards, guitar and violin. Unfortunately that violin has disappeared and the band also has another bass - and keyboard player.

In general the six compositions on this new album sound fluent and dynamic (at some moments more mellow or compelling) with an omnipresent role for the powerful and often fiery electric guitar with strong jazzrock undertones. The colouring of the songs by the keyboards is very pleasant, from soaring Mellotron or sparkling piano to flashy synthesizer flights or a swirling Hammond organ solo. The interplay between the musicians is awesome and the female singer delivers a decent performance. Although the compositions sound fluent and tasteful with good work on guitar and keyboards, I prefer their debut CD because it sounds more captivating and compelling to me. Nonetheless, Indifferent is a good album that will please the jazzrock aficionados. My rating: 3,5 stars.
