CELEBRATION

Estonian multi-instrumentalist Indrek Patte draws in a range of guest artists and friends to perform on this neo-prog album with hints of Genesis, Marillion, and Pendragon being the ain influences I hear - but given a unique twist thanks to Patte's keyboard work, which in places draws a lot on the style Tangerine Dream adopted by the early 1980s to add a range of textures not often heard in neo-prog material. You Stay With Me, with its mingling of heavy guitar, accessible power pop/AOR vocals, and neo-prog keyboard work, is perhaps the track which encapsulates the album's approach the best. Solid but not game-changing.
