IBIS

Third and final album from IBIS sees the band go out swinging at least but no this isn't the way I'm sure they would have liked to end the band. They sing in Italian at least this time and this is more original sounding than their "Sun Supreme" album which sounded so much like YES and with English vocals. Still 3 stars suits the music here in my opinion. No keyboards are credited yet we get synths and piano so maybe they were after a certain audience and kept that quiet. Best song for me is "Narratio" with that killer guitar and passionate vocals but this one changes often. Worst song for me is "Dedicated To Janis Joplin" with those soft multi-vocals and relaxed sound contrasted with the more passionate vocals and the addition of drums. I have to admit that THE NEW TROLLS and IBIS missed the mark when it comes to my tastes in music although I've kept that "Sun Supreme" album around for now.
