TANGER

This progrock from the Argentine four piece band Tanger has been recorded between 1998 and 1999. The musical brainchild is bass - and keyboard player and composer Luis Colucci. A first session evokes early King Crimson ("Red"-era): exciting and propulsive atmospheres featuring the poweful Fripperian 'chainsaw-sound" but also an ethnic flavor. These elements are the main ingredients on this alternating and adventurous album, from reaggae and jazz to rock and symphonic. The often sultry and hypnotizing climates evoke Ozric Tentacles, also because of the flute and fiery electric guitar. Although some songs tend to sound a bit similar, this CD is a delight.
