DYNAMIC LIGHTS Shape DVS DVS012 (2006)
A band I have to admit to knowing absolutely nothing about, but on initial listen it sounds European rock/metal with prog touches. Opener 'In The Hands Of A Siren' has plenty of piano, giving a slight Mike/Mechanics feel but it’s far heavier and off the wall. Some heavy guitar and other sounds come in without going too metal, a few minor notes add an interesting feel.
'Between Two Parallels' explores an interesting rhythm - imagine if Bill Bruford played piano. A shorter number at 7 minutes.
'Remembrances' adds a chunky heavy guitar riff to the keyboards and nice guitar sound too.
'Going Nowhere' is one of the stand out tracks but it’s hard to explain why, this is a very strange mixture of an album that’s good in places. It does grow on you with listens.
Strange, in a good way.
