3 stars A family Hungarian band making a clasically orientated music. They have two weak points: the "plastic" keyboards sound and the poor drummer's work. Nevertheless, "The King's New Garment" is a nice album, specially the long homonymous suite, where the band shows its best. There are good moments in the other pieces, and the instrumental variety is another enjoyable point, but -to my taste- the whole opus doesn't reach a real bright. I think that, potentially, this production could be increased (specially about the mentioned weak points), but it's still a good option if you like the long instrumental pieces with classic flavour and don't matter about some artificial modern sounds.

3 stars You have to like classical music to really appreciate Rumblin' orchestra's work. Its influences are even greater than for their compatriots of After Crying. Tracks are divided between classical instruments only and others where drums and synths are included. Although it may seem that these are minimum to consider a piece as progressive, these are the weakest tracks, After Crying among others doing a much better work of fusioning prog and classical music. But those played by classical instruments only are really good and enjoyable.
