DA 63 PROJEKT

Very intresting album named Da 63 Projekt by this obscure band Alkemy from France. Really solid arrangements, well played with some excellent ideas oveerall. Unfairly unnoticed. Released in 2004 on Unicorn records, this album gone unnoticed and is a shame because what is to be found here worth every second from start to finish. I can't find some similarity with other bands, maybe at some point with Montauk Project or Grey Matter, all in all is a combination of prog/jazz rock with some prog metal elements added in the mix, the result is quite great. The guitars, keyboards , drums, bass all is almost perfect, even the vocals sung in english. I was really hooked , I didn't expect such enjoyble release, specialy when you have such an odd art work, but as is said don't judge a book by its cover, perfect example here. Pieces like opening Underwater, Turtle soup or Different looks simply kick ass big time. So, 4 stars for sure, one hell of a great obscurity, recommended belive me.

P.S. Nothing to do with Queensryche or Pat Metheny, even less with Miles Davis not in their most jazzier parts as description of the band mentioned
