2014

I know, I am prejudiced, because I have played the drums in Life Line Project in 2003 and I have been playing the drums in a jazz band with Erik de Beer some years ago, but I am deeply impressed by his solo album. The music is very cheerful and dynamic. The drums sound very much alive, the ba ... (read more)

No eclectic complex progressive rock on this album, just plain and simple straightforward melodic prog, but so well-played ! In fact, all instruments are played by Erik de Beer and it's hard to tell, which instrument he plays best. He plays all keyboards, lead guitars, basses, drums, flute and a ... (read more)

One of the most dynamic and passionate albums I listened to lately! At first I was held back a bit, because the longest title on "2014" only measured 4:19, but then the music started and I was immediately convinced!

All instruments played by one man: Erik de Beer. And when you take out the CD from the box you can see how much instruments he owns!
