Blank Manuskript - Krásná Hora (2019)

The third album from this Austrian band.

The band is a quintet with a lineup of drums, glockenspiel, percussion, bass, guitars, flute, saxophone, clavinet, celesta, mellotron, electric piano, piano, synths, organ and vocals.

Two guest musicians added samples and viola to this album.

Their two first albums was pretty good so I was looking forward to this album.

The band has taken a long step towards eclectic prog and this is therefore my third attempt to write a review of this album. On the first two attempts, the first one in 2019, I found it too difficult and tiresome to write a review of this album.

The music is indeed eclectic prog with some different genres thrown into this one hour long album. From symphonic prog to folk music to some more pastoral rock and jazz.

This is indeed an eclectic album.

The melodies are pretty good but there are also some pieces here who simply does not work. 

This album is therefore somewhere between decent and good. It is an album well worth checking out.
