WHOSE DREAM?

As a presenter of a prog show, I join various prog sites, and I'm always looking for new stuff to feature. Reverbnation introduced me to BunchaKeze, via an invitation to listen. I get a buzz out of stumbling across stuff myself..and I'm a bit jaundiced towards 'invitations', and tend to put them to one side, for future listening. On this occasion, I went straight to the page, and listened to 'Midnight Skies'. Hmm..bit of a Floyd thing going on, but quite interesting... let's listen again. Yes...there's something...give it another go... yep, like this..! I'm not proficient in describing musical composition, so I won't. Music either grabs me instantly, or there's enough on first hearing, to warrant further investigation. Definite echoes of classic 70's prog..but with a modern slant. At this time I wasn't aware of the album's history, or age... The next track I listened to was Flight of The Phoenix...then The Deal...three very different tracks..but still plenty in each to keep me interested. In fact, there's very little not to like, with this album. I appreciate that heavy promotion can often indicate an inferior product, and I often dismiss stuff for that reason. I'm glad I didn't, with this one..I'd've missed a very interesting album. If I'd've been sitting on something of this quality for 25 years, I'd be promoting pretty heavily too... So approach this with an open mind, allow for the fact that some reviews may have been from avid fans, and give this album a listen, more than once. It won't hurt, will only cost a bit of time, and you can walk away either aurally satisfied, or non-commital..either way, you'll have given the album a fair hearing.
