Riveryman - Magic World (2009)


The first album from this one man band from Finland.

The band is Tony Riveryman on bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
He is helped by a drummer.

There are a lot of good musicians around coming out of the music academies and universities. Tony is a product of that culture.

Besides of this band, he is also guitarist in the pretty popular metal band Throes Of Dawn and some more pop bands. Everything to keep the hunger away from his doors.

The basis of Magic World is neo-prog. From this platform, he branches out into neo-classical and some jazz.

The vocals is not particular good and the sound is thin and not muscular enough for the material on this seventy minutes long album.

There is not enough good music here to make seventy minutes into a good album. There is not much good music at all.

This is a debut album where the musicians is trying to find their form. It is a decent enough album too. I will soon be reviewing the second album too and is expecting a progression from this album.
