MORE GRAINS OF SAND

Those who prefer quality of the record to its musical material, should minus 1 star.

This is, in my humble opinion, the best CLEPSYDRA album. When I got it 2 years ago, it seemed to me too amateur and undeveloped. Songs were well-structured/written, but arrangements were too “vast” (I mean, there weren’t enough background keyboards for me and rhythm-section sounded too “programmed”-like). Guitar solos were awesome, but singer’s terrible accent was stealing the whole show. But I’ve grown to like this album immensely, and only some certain abovementioned flaws prevented me from 5-star rating. “More Grains of Sand” is a lost “Misplaced Childhood” brother (as well as any other CLEPSYDRA album ;) ), and this is their best effort in cloning this MARILLION masterpiece (ALMOST as good as original!). Anyone who likes MARILLION, RED SAND, COLLAGE, APOCALYPSE, LA TULIPE NOIRE, DARIUS, LORIEN, ALSO EDEN, NO NAME and other related MARILLION clones and followers MUST check this album out!!! Extremely recommended!
