From
the best progband of Luxembourg No Name, here is finally their
latest album. A step further than 'The secret garden', putting
a more balanced sound with a more distinguished production.
From the beginning there is a overall feeling of IQ and Clepsydra
influences. But they have a lot in common with their German
brothers from Darius.
The second track 'Dolphins, sharks and a flood of sunshine'
is a very strong song, showing the band at their best. Dominating
keyboards with sharp guitar work.
'Strange decisions' has more a Marillion approach. Only think
that Fish should be the vocalist.
The most special part of the album is a 35:50 minutes lasting
epic called 'Tan 'Ibhan'. Divided in six passages all covering
a part of the story.
After all I think that No Name should compose with more creativity
and try to dare to wander new paths. Leave the standard cliché
sympho behind and it will be allright.
