OUT OF MYSELF

When I learned that this prog rock band is from Poland, after having noticed some similitudes with Polish band Collage's sophisticated drums, punchy & complex bottom bass and floating keyboards, I verified if some members were not from Collage before: NONE of them!

The lead singer has a voice between the Pearl Jam singer (Ten album) and the ultra known French ballad singer of the 60's & 70's Joe Dassin. The overall sound is very powerful, floating, VERY atmospheric and it may make you feel a bit melancholic. The bass is very bottom, the drums are very elaborated, especially the cymbals patterns. The dramatic keyboards are very modern, the VERY powerful and saturated floating ones reminding me the Jean Michel Jarre's work on the Zoolook's Ethnicolor track; the overall genre is on the border of neo prog, with just a slight dose of alternative rock. It is not a very joyful album, and the singer seems to express his discomfort. The electric rhythmic guitar sound is more metal than alternative, being not bad, like on "Reality dream". The sustained guitar solos notes, sometimes slightly bluesy, like on "Curtain falls", are decent and full of echo. There are some good rhythmic acoustic guitar, often played with a whining clean voice. ALL the tracks are excellent!
