The debut album from this Japanese band.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of synths, mellotron, organ, piano, electric piano, guitars, bass, percussion, drums, flute and vocals.
I reviewed their second album Yugake one week ago and wanted to review their debut album too based on my Yugake listening sessions.
Mizukagami is a Japanese symphonic prog band. Their music is pretty similar to the other bands in the Japanese symphonic prog genre.
That means lush and very flowery symphonic prog. There is a lot of Japanese flavours in their music and it is not difficult to hear that this band comes from Japan.
That also due to the very thin vocals which I am not sure is male of female vocals. I am not going to insult anyone so I just note that they are vocals and an instrument in it's own respect.
There are some metal sounding guitars here. But the tangents are really lush and very symphonic.
The music is both bold and pastoral. There is something for everyone here. There is also a lot of interesting details here and the band really knows how to deliver good symphonic prog.
This is indeed a good album and one well worth checking out.
