MOONSONGS

Being a oldschool-sympho/neoprogfan, and rather new to RIO-genre, I was overwhelmed by "In Extremis" and "A History Of Madness" a while ago. I didn't think music that complicated could become so addictive, but it did. But, thanks to the reviews here on this site of the first two Thinking Plague's I was quite reluctant to even begin to listen to them. But, there's no need. "Moonsongs" especially is great, for it captures still some of the typically eighties-sphere, which they lost in subsequent albums. Susanne's voice is nice and raw, and the material is easier to digest at first thanks to the dry 'in your face' production. I regard this one highly. In hindsight, a masterpiece.
