The eight album from this US band.
Phideaux was a ten members big band on this album with a lineup of percussion, violin, piano, guitars, saxophone, keyboards, bass, drums and vocals. Both male and female vocals.
I have reviewed their seven first albums and have found a bit of a mixed bag. On some albums, this band has been a singer/songwriter album with Phideaux Xavier doing most of the music. Other albums has been more like a big symphonic prog album.
Number Seven is in the symphonic prog genre.
Take symphonic prog, add some americana, neo-prog and a lot of Pink Floyd. This is when you get this one hour long album.
There is a lot of male and female vocals here. The sound is reasonably big, but not very big. The music is mostly done by keyboards, guitars, bass and drums. That in addition to the vocals.
The music is also very melodic with some melodramatic melodies.
The music is really both cool and good. It has a modern sound and really appeals to most into progressive rock. It is a good album indeed. Hence the rating.
