IN THE ROOM OF A SINGULAR POINT

The music from this Japanese four piece band sounds in the vein of fellow Japanese progrock bands like Pageant, Shingetsu and Fromage but less eloborate and less captivating. It features obvious hints from early Genesis (dreamy with twanging guitars and Mellotron) but the guitar play is harder-edged and the songs are more up-tempo rock. Walrus delivers some good ideas (break with heavy guitar riffs, a piece with howling electric guitar/soaring Mellotron and lots of strong electric guitar play) but this band doesn't succeed to keep my attention for the whole time. So to me it sounds as a nice effort but there are so many Japanese progrock bands that are more worth to explore.
