~  SPOCK'S  BEARD  ~ 

 

U S A  -  rock progressif  -  **** 

 


Le style issu des 70's est en même temps très moderne
( production clinquante, esprit mélodique )
entre  
Kansas , Yes  et  King Crimson ,
un son énorme, une musique très riche, avec des breaks, des ruptures,
très complexe, aux superbes développements instrumentaux,
aux belles mélodies et à l'interprétation sans faille,
ultra technique et ultra pro,  quelle classe !!!! 
sur " V " voici un  
Spock's Beard  au top de son art,
de longs morceaux très riches, d'autres plus courts, plus mélodiques,
Superbe !!!

Spock's Beard       ( 2006 )

 titres : on a perfect day, skeletons at the feast,
             Is this love, all that's left, with your kiss,
             sometimes they stay, sometimes they go,
             the slow crash landing man,
             wherever you stand, hereafter,
             as far as the mind can see :
             part 1: dreaming in the age of answers,
             part 2: here's a man,
             part 3: they know we know,
             part 4: stream of unconsciousness,
             rearranged.
