THERE ARE NO ORDINARY MOMENTS

"There Are No Ordinary Moments" from OVRFWRD is a fantastic instrumental album that feels like a modern version of Agusa: The guitar tone is heavier, but it adds a unique flavour to the soundscape, added by great keyboards, such as piano + synthetizers and jazzy and - peharps - improvised chops through all the songs.

The level of musicianship is fantastic as well, with great playing from drums and bass guitar, that composes a rock solid base to great arrangements and shows how tight the band is.

Some tracks goes to the heavier side, such as Flatlander, or more experimental, such as the weirdly beautiful hypnotic Chateau La Barre, but the album is filled of extended journeys that slowly builds up and resolves the tension in great ways. Red Blanket and is a great opener and Eyota shines on its almost 13 minutes epic journey. Each track is very distinct as well.

4.5/5 stars for me, a great way to start 2024.
