Post Description

"Square The Circle" is the strong debut album from the Dutch neo-prog band TRIANGLE. They are blending 80's and 90's neo-progressive rock to a mix that is somewhere between DREAM THEATER, IQ, JADIS, M'ARILLION, ROCKET SCIENTISTS, RUSH and SAGA. It's all very good: The musicians, the clear dynamic production, the complex compositions, the strong melodies, the clever arrangements and the vocal performance by Martijn Paasschens. Four out of the seven tracks is +10 minutes. The highlights are "Chasing The Shadows", the complex "The Center Shines", the longest composition "Pygmalion" that is +13 minutes and the closing "Nature's Window". The magnificent artwork is made by the "artwork-master", Mattias Norén from Sweden. This is neo-progressive rock at its best, and it might be one of the better debut albums in 2000. Highly recommended!

Het staat er al een tijdje op maar is door niemand gespot voor FTD dus doe ik het maar. Fraai staaltje Nederprog, mensen.
