MY MAGNIFICIANT INSTABILITY

This is a Canadian five piece band featuring some guest musicians on classical instruments. Their musis intricates me, it contains elements from King Crimson (Fripperian guitar), Peter Hamill (vocals) and Genesis (keyboards) but in general Dadmahr has an original progrock sound. The focus is on singer and guitarplayer Mathieu Lessard, he delivers powerful, often a bit agressive guitarwork. The use of instrumens like the violin in "Every Failure", a violin-cello duet in "A l'aube de .." and piano (short but strong in "Paradox for two piano's) gives the music a strong classical undertone. The final composition "Leaving for Paris" is Dagmahr at its best: a dynamic climate featuring all progrock ingredients, the 'grand finale' is in the vein of mid-Genesis with compelling guitar and keyboards, SPLENDID!
