AFTER THE BATTLE

Dutch band : Plackband ...released 2002, but from way back then! Like so many other Dutch groups from "back then"..these guys are excellent. With the exultant musically brilliance of their musicianship. First track actually reminds me of Genesis. But these guys are really their own !! Great keyboards and vocals a plenty arrangements as you´ve never heard them before.....guitars in supreme!! well...actually as you know there are several Dutch groups...in the prog world to mention a few: Solution/Focus/Alquin/Sandy coast/Ekseption/Kayak...of the "oldboys"...but this outfit seems like they are quite their own masters. The strong theme´s... the supreme arrangements...the vocal supremacy. Friends of old prog (Focus/Alquin/Kayak......you `ll love this!! These Dutch guys are really remarkable!! This is five star material!! Without doubt!! One star... for wonderful songs!! One star...for showing us,that there are beautiful prog music! One star...for believing in prog music...especially in Dutch prog music!! Two stars..for sheer wonderful musicianship and reuniting it!! Enuff of the small talk....if..you´re a real prog fan....you NEED this album!! God damn...sometime it sounds like Nektar....nevermind!! : G E T T H I S A L B U M !!!
