Description/Reviews
Professor Tip Top ... play music that I would qualify mostly as Prog/Pop.
After a short instrumental introduction we get eight 4 to 6 minutes songs (well the last one is nearly 8 minutes long). The first six are very melodic (even though they can be quite different from each other) in a way Alan Parsons Project (circa Eye In The Sky) used to give us. All the tracks feature some beautiful (often multi layered) vocals by Sven Magnar Hansen. Some spacey electronic keyboards are also very much present, adding a kind of a futuristic/retro mood to this very good album.
