MIND COLOURS

Italian band SOULENGINE "Mind Colours" was to me a pleasure audition ! Although, I could identify some influences of progressive rock bands like Genesis , King Crimson, Return to Forever etc ...( Only for c for cite some) In none moment this influences are enough to make their music a cheap copy or clone of these bands ! In my point of view, this is due to these influences are slightly dissolved in all tracks ! The best moments are: Track 1 "Polheim" starts like a Genesis song and disbainded in a melody which reminds me the American band HOLDING PA PATTERN and British COLLOSSEUM II. Track 2 "Third in Line" is simply fantastic and reppeat one melody in two different rhythm, first a soft ballad and after in a h hard/heavy theme. Track 6 " No Way Out" with his Latin flavor . Track 7 " No Rewarding " with a initial theme with King C Crimson "mood" . In spite I detach these songs, the album shows other excellent moments !!! My rate is 4 stars !!!
