Review:
|
Three years ago Narrow Pass released their debut album
entitled A Room Of Fairy Queen’s, I ended my review with:
“This is a very pleasant and melodic CD that will delight
the fans of 70-77 Genesis, Hackett solo and neo-prog like
IQ and Pendragon”.
Well, on this new album (around one hour) Narrow Pass
still makes 76-77 Genesis inspired symphonic rock that sounds
pleasant and melodic. Most of the seven tracks deliver flowing
shifting moods featuring a tasteful colouring (from acoustic
– and classical guitar to flute, saxophone and violin),
moving electric guitar work, varied keyboard work (from
tender Grand piano to exciting solos on synthesizer and
organ) and a wonderful female voice (along some male vocals).
A very special and beautiful song is the folky Silver Lady
with Gaelic vocals, instruments like a violin, Irish bodhran,
tin-whistle and the use of two Irish speakers. -
I am sure this wonderful new album will please many
symphomaniacs, fortunately Narrow Pass didn’t turn into
another new and promising one-shot Italian progrock band!
