Liquid Scarlet, yet another Swedish superb prog band, originally recommended to me, by my dear friend and prog mate Leo. And quite honestly I had some difficulty in “getting into them.” But after more than a few (any prog reviewer should at least hear albums in question, 3 times; but go for five listenings then even more “doors” will open for you to digest!) things began to dawn on me.
Liquid Scarlet are a fine prog band with a different story to tell, musically that is! What I first found ...ahem…indifferent...are now refreshingly new, which just goes to show the above rules for listening (as a reviewer) are relevant!
There are some very elaborate and fine tuned music on this album with the emphasis on beautiful lyrics and very well composed songs. Forget the high soaring guitar soli, forget the thundering drums, forget the loud vocals. But lean back into your favorite chair, let your mind at ease, for this is a journey into yet another realm of the beautiful world we call prog! I dare you, to mention any other prog group that will have you leaned back so much in wonder and awe.
Are these guys for real? Oh, yes they are. This is the new world of prog music! And by the way, they come by way of Progress Records (oh, yes its them again....a label to take note of!) Whats that? I haven’t mentioned the music!? No? Well, why don’t you, go buy them. I promise..this is the prog surprise of the year. Me? I haven’t heard anything like it! And that’s a plus!
