This first release by Japanese band Ain Soph since the mid 90's is an interesting affair; at least
for fans of this group.7 tracks recorded in the 80's and one recorded in 2005, all of them live in the studio, will always add new dimensions to tunes familiar to the band's followers. And that the new recording is a new song will of course be of high interest for any fan. The old numbers performed here comes as fusion in style, heavily spiced with symphonic keyboard layers very much like Camel in style. Some folk influences are to be found too, but the fusion style and symphonic additions are the dominating elements here. The new tune takes on a more distinct fusion style; the keyboards on this tune underscoring the tune rather than dominating; the symphonic keyboard layers for the most part replaced with saxophone in the soundscape. The tunes as such doesn't come across as very interesting though. Too repetitive for my personal taste, and lacking in nerve and tension. Still, fans of early Camel may find this release interesting, as well as fans of symphonic rock from the 70's in general. In particular those of them also listening to fusion, as well as appreciating skilled musicianship.
