SACRED BABOON

There's not much to add to previous reviews; this band is phenomenal. I would rank this album amongst the best of progressive rock. Imagine members of Yes and Gentle Giant playing together in top form, but developing a unique signature sound at the same time, and you'll have an idea of what this band sounds like. It is certainly reminiscent of those bands, and others, but never becomes derivative or slavishly imitative. They certainly have their own sound. The music constantly moves forward, but never lets the listener lose interest from overload. It is a respectable feat to walk the fine line between complexity and evocative and engaging melodies and harmonies. Yezda Urfa does it with aplomb. Supposedly they are actually still together and planning the release of a new album. Long live Yezda Urfa!
