The second album from this band from Poland.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of guitars, drums, keyboards, bass and vocals.
Satellite was the continuation of the legendary band Collage whose albums I will review later this year. Collage is perhaps the godfather (band) of the Polish neo-prog scene.
Neo-prog is what we get here.
The music has their roots in early Genesis and features a seventeen minutes long epos, the title track. A good epos too.
The music is really elegant and melodic throughout this album. The music is also epic and has all the qualities of a solid, good neo-prog album.
We get seventy minutes of solid neo-prog here. It is hard to argue that the album is too long.
What it does not have is a great song or two. The music is a joy but the dot over the i is missing here. The extra inspiration and the extra flashes of greatness.
It is hard to ignore this album when recommending neo-prog albums from Poland though. This is indeed a good album.
