MISTER GREEN

TAAL is a French progressive band that has released their debut CD on the Musea label. Their music is quite hard to describe but there are some reminiscences to KING CRIMSON, MAGMA, PINK FLOYD, SAMLA MAMMAS MANNA / VON ZAMLA and FRANK ZAPPA. But TAAL doesn't sound like any of these bands they just have some similarities. The main part of the album contains complex instrumental progressive rock, although it has some vocals now and then. There are six guest musicians on the album and they're playing instruments such as Saxophones, Clarinet, Violon & Cello, Trombone and Flute. These instruments are perfectly mixed into the music and they add some classical, jazz and RIO elements to the final result. All in all this is an interesting album with many nice moments.
