I eventually managed to find them on my streaming platform of choice (Apple) and the new album is on there. I do think that picking a name that is very obscure and strangely spelt/worded is going to go against them if they are relying on streaming. Anyway I've not managed to properly listen to it yet but I doubt it will make my top 20 for the year. There is obvious jazz fusion element to what they do and so a lot of it is a bit too 'flighty' perhaps for my taste. Vocalist is great though and the band can certainly play!

^ When I Google "infinien" I get tons of links to the band and their music. If Apple makes it difficult to find them, that's Apple's problem -- not the band's.

but its also the bands problem if they are hard to find on a very popular streaming site. However Apple does have an issue with how it categories certain artists for sure.

Only heard some tracks of iNFiNiEN, thanks to what has been posted here on PA in the past, and always liked what I heard. Listened now, thanks to this thread, to their new album. Great listen, indeed - wonderful album/band! (added to "to buy"-list)

Yep. Just discovered them. Pretty far out! Not much competetion as creativity and virtuosity goes. Earlier albums though are somewhat weaker, lots of over-used eastern scales.
