Post Description

This album is highly acclaimed on the Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock; one reviewer describes it as a cross between Djam Karet and Änglagård, and goes on to say that Atavism of Twilight is the best new band he's heard since Änglagård. There is a definite Djam Karet influence, particularly in the sound of the bass and its lines. I wouldn't say there's much of an Änglagård influence (keyboardist Sean Lee Greer says they'd never heard Änglagård before recording the music anyway), but imagine Sinkadus, complete with prominent flute, doing vocal-less fusion jams, and you might get the right idea. That description might turn on a lot of prog fans, but it doesn't do much for me. The four long tracks seem pretty circular, without a real sense of direction - which is not to say that there aren't moments where the listener feels like these guys could have some serious potential. The album has a definite wall-of-noise feel, probably resulting from somewhat flat production. Here's something someone wrote about another band, but which describes my feelings about this release perfectly: [It is] Pleasant, for lack of a better term. Very little difference between the first and last song, and everything in between, IMO. Good musicians, but I kept on waiting for a song that allowed them to stretch out a bit or one that would knock me to the floor in amazement, and it never showed. I'd like to see them "open it up" a bit, but that may not be the style they're looking for.
