Album of the month February 1998.  
The more   the better the album (rating from 1 to 5).   

Cairo - Conflict and dreams 
(Magna Carta RR 8749-2)  
     

We have been waiting for this album a queit long time, but finally here it is. I got the hand on a new Cairo sample and gotto listen to it with great expectations. I am surprised as well. The bombastic sound that we can hear on the titleless debut album got more body on this new one 'Conflict and dreams'. In the first place it all seems to be a bit heavier, but there's a good balance between the songs. The Cairo-sound is still the same, bits of Yes, ELP, UK and so on makes us aware that this is a band that still counts. Strong vocals from Bret Douglas and magnificent guitarparts from Alec Fuhrman (he has a great sound) are the most remarkable contents. The music from the Magna Carta label is not always accessable for every ear, but Cairo has the capacity to grow to a much larger public.
