Telegraph - Mir (2018)


The debut album from this Israeli band.

Telegraph is a quartet with a lineup of minimoog, mellotron, electric piano, piano, bass, drums, flute and vocals.

The band is a new one but there are some musicians here with many years in the business.

The band is listed as a space/psych rock band in ProgArchives. That is a correct label.

This fifty minutes long album gives us a nice blend of psych and symphonic prog. References are Eloy, Nektar and Genesis. There are also some hints of fusion here. Well, more than a few hints in fact.

The music is mostly instrumental.

But where most others has failed to come up with instrumental albums which sounds fresh, Mir is an example of an instrumental album that really sound fresh and relevant.

There is a lot of mini-moog and mellotron here. Ditto for guitar solos.

There are some really soaring melodies here which takes you, as a passenger of Mir, on a trip around our globe. And the few songs here are also soaring.

This is indeed a good album and one band to really check out. This album has so much promise and I hope we will hear a lot more from Telegraph in the future.
