Review |
From out of nowhere comes the band SPLINTER, a new Dutch
Neo-Progband, which delivers with their debut CD ‘Dreamers’
a very impressive record that can easily match with UK bands
like JADIS, IQ, PALLAS, PENDRAGON and such, but is also not
that far away from KAYAK and FOR ABSENT FRIENDS actually.
The music is really beautiful actually, really taking you
from start to finish into a SPLINTER ‘Dream’. The CD has a
huge sound, looks very professional, along with a DVD, partly
thanks to JONAS REINGOLD of THE FLOWER KINGS, who did not
only produce the CD, but also co-wrote some songs and did
arrangements. Basically a winner for any Progfan out there,
also if you like SATELLITE, RIVERSIDE and such, so this is
Prog at it’s best, very relaxing and with songs like “Bio
engine”, “Anthony’s songs” (fantastic, pure KAYAK!) and the
15 minutes counting epic “Reflections”, this band delivers
something very impressive without any doubts. Must to check
out for the progfans!
