Een nieuwe album van de Britse band IQ is altijd goed nieuws. De band hoeft zich niet meer te bewijzen en behoort al decennia tot de vaandeldragers van de neo-progressieve rock.
Maarten Goossensen van Prog Wereld: “De muziek van IQ is altijd bijzonder gelaagd en heeft vaak heel wat luisterbeurten nodig voordat het al zijn geheimen heeft prijsgegeven. Hoe meer luistertijd je investeert, hoe meer ze gaan groeien. Dat is bij “Resistance” niet anders. Ik moest even zoeken hoe je dit album het beste kunt benaderen. Ik beoordeelde het album eerst door elk nummer apart af te wegen, maar dat werkt niet. De band laat niet voor niets alle nummers in elkaar overlopen en dáár ligt de sleutel. Beschouw de eerste cd als één episch stuk en het wint enorm aan kracht!… Read more...

Drifting Sun is een Brits studioproject dat progressieve rock brengt. Hun muziek kan omschreven worden als dramatisch, sfeervol en theatraal. Ze noemen Dream Theater, Queensryche, Genesis en Jethro Tull als invloeden.
Philippe Thirionet van Music in Belgium: “Côté line-up et si Pat Sanders (claviers, composition) et Will Jones (batterie et percussions) font partie des racines du groupe, on gardera dans l’équipe jusqu’en 2017 Peter Falconer (chant et écriture), Dan Storey (guitare/basse) et Manu Michael (basse) puis, la conception du dernier album (celui qui nous intéresse aujourd’hui) fera apparaître d’autres musiciens et chanteurs permettant l’utilisation de chœurs mais aussi d’une plus grande panoplie d’instruments (violon, clarinette, saxophone, orgue Hammond).
La preuve avec une première composition qui dans un premier temps, lance un classic-rock voir un rock-progressif où les synthés dominent proposant souvent des passages atmosphériques puis, le saxophone apporte alors une coloration jazzy.… Read more...
