VISION

Vision by Martigan is typical example of contemporary neo-prog. This band from Germany makes real breakthrough on prog scene with the release of Vision. It contains some good ideas and interesting way of playing of instruments. Especially guitar player, who's highly influenced by Steve Hackett's style of playing. As many of neo prog albums, it concentrate our attention on first track - Boatmans Vision. It's indisputably innovative, full of fresh tempo changes and well-constructed tunes. After this wonderful song the album turn aside to an unvaried rhythm and continues like that to the end of the album. There are some pleasant (Genesis-like) sounds, but nothing more unexpected and provoking, than good radio mainstream songs you won't get here. 3 stars.
