BABYLON

One of the intresting late'70s progressive rock bands from USA were for sure Babylon. Even they had a short career disbanded in 1979, their self titled album from 1978 is very solid and enjoyble. Influenced from bands like Genesis, Gentle Giant , Hands, Yezda Urfa, among others. The great musicianship save this band to be anonymous, and is well known somehow in prog circles, specially after the album was released on CD by famous Greg Walker's Syn-Phonic label in 1999. Analogue keyboards, top guitars and quite good and intresting vocals recalling Gabriel Nursery cryme era. All 4 pieces are more then ok, symphonic prog bordering in many places early neo prog sound who just take shape around that time in other part of the world - UK, being even similar with canadians Nightwinds and their album from 1979. So, all in all a great one and done release from USA late 70s prog scene. Easy 4 stars
