THE GATHERING LIGHT

I´m just listening new album of Karnataka third time and reading recent reviews of it at the same time. And till all is blue I wonder... (Maybe I´m listening different CD? Maybe I don´t tune in to "possitive vibrations"?)

Sorry, I can´t be in cahoots with others and I must to give low rating. There is my reasons:

1. Preamble: I think this IS NOT PROGROCK, maybe Prog pop...

2. Syrup tunes (but forgettable, paradox!) comparing to Blackmore´s Night or even Enya. (Gosh! Blackmore´s Night is on this site too, wow!)

3. General sound is very flat, therefore each song is similar to each other. No rhythm changes, no crescendos, no musical surprise! (By the way, that´s basic elements of a structure of Progressive Rock!)

4. Guitar solos is all alike. Protracted, boring, without ideas... trust me, it´s my ears torture!

5. Vocals are so inexpressive and tearful, as well as lyrics.

6. The bass is very soft and flat. I like hard, compact bass sound - if not the case it´s not rock music.

7. Long compositions are counterproductive here - because where is no idea, nor the Death don´t takes...

Look! Attention! Isn´t your Idol a little bit swinging?
