The sixth album from this Norwegian band.
The band is a sixtet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards and saxophones on this album.
Pymlico has always been an instrumental symphonic prog band. They are very much at the Camel spectrum of the symphonic prog scene.
The music is very laidback with a lot of saxophones. Something the opening track Heliotrope gives us a forewarning about.
The music is very much leaning towards slick fusion and movie soundtrack music here.
The music is too slick and there is not much that makes the listener jumps out of the chair.
This album is dangerous close to being used in supermarkets and elevators.
Nevertheless, the quality is decent to good though. But I hope the next album will have more bite and more substance than this album. I am not won over.
2.5 points
