ORBITAL

4.5 stars Wow what a mindblowing, original album from the Venezuelan prog group PFOTM. If you want to hear some top notch symphonic rock which pays homage to the prog forefathers while remaining wholly unique, check out this South American gem. Every instrument is amazing here with organs and guitar being especially brilliant. The english vocals don't sound foreign and are beautiful and almost make me want to hear more vocal passages at the expense of the brilliant layered textures and heavy melodic riffage. One of the best prog albums I've heard in a while and a breath of fresh air from South America which has never been topped in the continent in my humble opinion.
