16th Art Rock Show: Power And Outcome

Met enige overdrijving kunnen we stellen dat de discografie van de Mexicaans prog band Cast, bijna zo groot is als de rand van een sombrero. Luisteren naar de Cast vergt enige training van de trommelvliezen. De groep heeft in al die jaren een sterk eigen geluid ontwikkeld. Maar een geluid om van te snoepen…

Alec Vanthournout van Progstravaganza: “Mexican symphonic prog rockers Cast are back with another symphonic adventure of epic songs. A modern symphonic prog-rock album with heavier moments, the music has a lot of quiet and beautiful atmosphere where the melody is carried slowly. (…)

Power and Outcome showcases an impressive combination of creative instrumentation and heartfelt vocal delivery; the band has created a suite of music that coheres in a deeply compassionate and emphatic way. This is a rich and eclectic record with echoes of classical music, the Canterbury progressive rock, jazz and a bit of metal.

Power and Outcome is a masterclass example of current progressive music that perfectly fuses vintage and modern sounds with an equally on-point balance of subtlety. To conclude, this is an incredible album. It’s a lengthy, complex, emotional, and pretty much perfect example of modern progressive rock.”

Naast Cast met het album Power And Outcome hebben we deze week: Sonus Umbra (Winter Soulstice), IQ (Subterranea), Codice (Alba y Ocaso), Glass Hammer (If), Camel (Mirage) and Kaipa (Inget nytt under solen).
