Hollande  -  rock progressif  -  *** 

 

 
Pop progressive au caractère mélancolique, très mélodique, sophistiqué,
aux chants suaves, se situe entre  
Genesis ,  Supertramp  et  Camel .
" close to the fire " en 2000, reformation du groupe pour un album
presque plus progressif que d'habitude, un vrai plaisir !
2005,
Kayak  nous revient avec un double album, un concept basé sur
l'histoire de  
Nostradamus  proposé sous la forme d'un opéra rock.
2008, le légendaire groupe hollandais rescapé de l'époque dorée du
progressif, poursuit sa carrière avec un opus mélodique et symphonique,
flanqué de mélodies accrocheuses et efficaces. Le côté opéra-rock des
récents albums est donc délaissé au profit du genre qui les a rendus célèbres
dans les années 70, à savoir une pop-prog sophistiquée et symphonique,
le tout agencé avec un son actuel au dessus de tout soupçon.
