EASTERN DAWNING

In spite of being a disk recorded in 1996, and to be classified like NEO-PROG, "Eastern Dawning" of the German band INES presents a sound that can be defined as "healthy nostalgia." The disk presents a quite light musicality. . Yours influence are clearly anchored in the symphonic-prog in the vein of YES, RENAISSANCE,GENESIS, CAMEL, etc... and in the sound of less symphonic bands like STYX... etc... with beautiful harmonies performe by the keyboard (Rick Wakeman's , Tony Banks etc...), completed by the guitar (sometimes 12 strings and sometimes eletric ). I detach the tracks 1 "Friends" (with a beautiful initial passage where the keyboard brings the already mentioned harmony of the 12 strings guitar), track 3 "Healling Waters" (with their vigorous guitars that reminded me bands like STYX & JOURNEY), track 6 " Lonely Child " (a piece of acoustic guitar in GORDON GILTRAP'S style) and track 8 " New Age Dawn " (with a brief, however very interesting guitar solo in his final passage). In a general way a good disk, if not shows an y exacerbated creativity, offers very pleasant moments. My rate i 4 stars!!!
