The debut album from this Japanese band.
The band was a trio with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars and vocals.
Japan is the land of rising sun and the land of some very challenging music. Their take on progressive rock and fusion is a bit more challenging for the Western listener than the normal fare of prog and fusion.
Hence, I am normally very excited when Japanese music comes up for review through my internal lottery.
Noa's debut album gives us forty minutes of fusion. Fusion with some progressive rock influences. King Crimson springs to mind here.
There is some King Crimson influences indeed.....
Most of this album is melodic fusion though. The drummer is said to be a big fan of Bill Bruford. Which is well and fine. The music here reminds me about Bruford, his fusion band.
There is nothing I can fault this album for. It is not particular interesting or even good at times. It is a nice fusion album with some King Crimson influences and that is all.
2.5 points
