THE LONG GOODBYE

Neo prog is often considered not the most challenging, original, innovative and interesting subgenre. Well, this may be true in a way but at the same time these critics forget about the quality and beauty of this style of music, that is if it's done by great musicians and composers.

And right here we have a great example of how neo prog should sound and if it's done like this I can hardly think of better music. And tend to forget about the often heard criticism. Music (and also prog) is not always about wanting to be challanged for me. Sometimes I want to sit back and enjoy fantastic music.

And then we're in the right place here with Moria Falls. I can't understand why a band with such huge potential has made only one other album so far. If you can write such killer songs and produce such brilliant guitar and keyboard solos then you should do this more often I feel. I don't know why Moria falls called it a day but as it is they are comparable with Ad Infinitum. The sound and style are very alike but Moria Falls is far better in almost all departments. And where I had to give a disappointing rating to Ad Infinitum I feel I have to round up this one. I used to think Clepsydra played the most perfect neo prog but they have serious competition from Moria Falls ...
