W GALERII CZASU

I consider this first album from Polish band LIZARD "W Galerii Czasu", a very good late 90's release, and a very well done mix of some progressive East's European bands. In my first and superficial impression the band shows a great influence of bands like M.EFFEKT and PROGRESS II ... this last mainly by the work in " Dialog s vesm'rem" (both from Czech Republic), their countryman from COLLAGE and some hints of KING CRIMSON. The band "cross" between countless of progressive rock styles : heavy-prog in the track 4 "Strefa cienia " where about 1 min 48 sec exists a brief intermission in King Crimson mood and this K C mood returns in a diferent way about 3 min 34 sec.- a bit of jazz-prog mixed with a ballad theme in the track 6 "W krainie szmaragdowego jaszczura" ... This album is a must , all tracks are fantastic, the musicians are skilled and the arrangements exceptional. My rate is 5 stars !!!
