Description/Reviews: 

... and the style is similar to bands like Jethro Tull with flutes and that sort of thing. “Hippie rock” is probably a decent way to describe what you get to hear when you listen to this album for over seventy minutes, and Francis the lady who sings manages to sing in both German and English making the album feel a bit exotic even – as they always do when you get to hear the lyrics sung in odd languages.

Description/Reviews

Thankfully, despite it being predominantly jazz structured, it has a fairly metallic quality to it in terms of the actual sound and delivery of the tracks so it initially bodes well. Opening track “Pulsar” opens up with some rapid-fire guitar licks, backed up by some symphonic samples, giving a rather extravagant feel to it and as the tracks go on, the back and forth between the guitar and samples/synths is a captivating dynamic as they both rise and fall in opposition yet seamlessly trade the focus from one to another without missing a beat. Rhythmically spot on with some fantastic drums and a really rich bassline carries the song and the chops of the guitarist are not to be scoffed at as he makes fantastic melodies as well as technical artworks of his solo’s.

Description/Reviews: 

Opening track "Father Storm" busts out of the traps like an express train, guitar and flute riffing in unison over a backdrop of solid drum and bass and bringing to mind memories of Jethro Tull classic "Locomotive's Breath" well that is until you hear the sublime bluesy tones of Francis on vocals. Powerful and blessed with a tone somewhere between Blues Pills Elin Larsson and Royal Thunder's Miny Parsonz, she infuses the song with a bluesy grit that shatters any further Tull comparisons that may be made.
