Week 16 – Art Rock – Archiviarum

Bassist Marco Bernard, drummer Kimmo Pörsti en zanger, violist en fluitist Steve Unruh vormen de harde kern van The Samurai Of Prog, een band annex project binnen ons geliefde genre. The Samurai of Prog zijn een Italiaans-Fins-Amerikaans retro-prog supergroep met een klein leger aan gastmuzikanten.

Prog Archives review: “The three main members of the band are surrounded this time again by some very competent and professional musicians and there’s an impression of a true alchemy between all of them!The high quality of the composition is obvious, we are spoiled with some great vintage prog rock, and any fan of this great music genre will adore this superbe,magnificent compositions from all the heart!The production is sensational,as usual,the Rickenbacker bass sound of Mr Bernard is fantastic,the mesmerising violin of Mr Unruh is perfect and the drumming wizardry from Mr Porsty is precise as a Switch watch!

All the vocals are amazing, they fit perfectly well with the music on all tracks… and the atmosphere on this album is so special and wonderful!Even we have a 70 minutes album,we don’t have the impression of a long and boring album,no way…it’s diverse,catchy and full of musical surprises! From compositions with a fusion vibe to strong old school of prog rock,everything is here perfectly well balanced in a clever mix, a true regale for the prog rock-vintage style-fans!

Album after album, The Samurai of Prog are proving an endless inspiration and they became a sure value of the genre,we have the certainty that each album of the band is better and better than the previous one,all the albums of the band they already have such a high musical quality,that it’s almost impossible to find weak point of aspect in their music!”
