ECHOES

The progressive band CYAN was formed in England 1984. Their music is a mix between early GENESIS, IQ, IT BITES, Mike OLDFIELD, PENDRAGON and PINK FLOYD. This album contains the remaining tracks from the first two, now deleted CYAN CD's, "For King & Country" and "Pictures From The Other Side", that wasn't released on the 1997 release "Remastered". The tracks have been re-mastered and re-mixed and there are also three rare previously unreleased tracks. Some of the tracks have even been re-recorded to make the release more interesting. The highlights are "Man amongst Men", "Snowbound", "Nightflight" and "Solitary Angel" which is the best track on this album, with its beautiful Mellotron playing.

- CYAN is working on a concept album with the project name "Oceana". Hopefully this will be released in April 2000. CYAN is one of the better bands from England at the moment, and the forthcoming double concept album is destined to be a real killer. Recommended to lovers of early GENESIS.
