The one and only album from this Japanese band.
Water Garden was a quintet with a lineup of guitars, bass, keyboards, drums and female Japanese vocals.
This album was picked up by Musea for a world wide release and it is a great shame that it has not got the attention it deserves.
Just the name of the band kind of gives the music away. Then again, it does not.
The music is flowery, exotic neo-prog with a great Japanese flavour. There are some strong hints of Japanese classical music throughout this fifty-five minutes long album.
The music is elegant and classy throughout. The piano and the keyboards are really great here. The vocals are good.
What is letting this album down.... slightly.... is the quality of the songs. They are good but not living up to the great sound.
I am kind of fond of this album because it adds colours to the neo-prog scene. I like what I hear. But I am not overly impressed. Hence the rating. Check out this album and give it some attention. Attention it deserve.
