DOMINION

Some years ago I really wondered, why Wobbler´s "From Silence To Somewhere" was in the very high place in Progarchives All Time Progalbums list. Now the same seems to happen to Zopp's second album. I am not saying that Wobbler´s album is bad, but does it really belong in the all time prog albums list? My opinion is: really not! So I decided to listen "Dominion" if there really is some substance in the hype this time.

I am afraid I have to say there´s not. As Wobbler album, this is not sounding bad. But question is in every great music to me is there anything new? Not in "Dominion". All the way it reminds me Hatfield And the North or National Health -albums, well maybe this is little bit softer and less complicated. I believe if this album had released under one of those bands names, nobody would have suspected there be anything strange. I think both Zopp & Wobbler are bands that have listened their favorites carefully and wanted to make same kind of music as they and nothing in a different way. I don´t think that is good way to make great music

This really isn´t a bad album and it maybe deserves 3 stars. But because this band hasn´t got any own personality, I just can´t give it more than 2 stars. To all young fellows who are interested in Canterbury Prog, I suggest that you listen to Caravan´s, Soft Machine´s, Gong´s etc. classic albums instead of this.
