MEKANO

This is MIRIODORr's fifth album but I'm not that familiar with MIRIODOR's previous releases. Miriodor is however a really interesting and unique band with a sound that is reminiscent to many other R.I.O. (Rock In Opposition) influenced bands such as HENRY COW. SAMLA MAMMAS MANNA/VON ZAMLA, UNIVERS ZERO and VOLAPÜ, progressive rock bands such as HAPPY THE MAN, KING CRIMSON and VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR, and finally jazz-fusion bands such as WEATHER REPORT. The compositions are very good, the album is really complex and there are lots of things going on in the music. I really like the R.I.O. inspired bands and MIRIODOR is no exception. One of the most valuable releases this year.
