The Burden of Paradise, by Different Light

The Burden of Paradise

by Different Light

supported by

Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) Long before, I've already purchased the other three "Different Light" albums currently available, and this one already was on my wishlist. I don't understand why it had to stay there for so long, because it's just as brilliant as the other ones. Symphonic rock with a nice retro feeling and great melodies at its best! Absolutely nothing to criticize here. Favorite track: At First Light.

Boris Stalf Cause it is just gorgeous. Great melodies, great vocals. Favorite track: Waking Moment.

Caligonaut: Magnified as Giants: Hailing from Norway, this solo outing from Michael Bjørndal, of Oak and Airbag features members in Wobbler, Pymlico and also Airbag. Both heavy and Nordic-folky, there is a hint of old psychedelia as well. Nickie Harte Kelly

Such good prog needs to be rewarded with another purchase! So I quickly closed the gap between the first and third albums in my collection. In case you want to get a first glance at this band's works, I recommed the third one. It's the most brilliant so far. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)

Good modern prog albums are a rare beast in my eyes so this was a nice discovery. This album is very layered yet crisp sounding. Not exactly heavy but delightfully dense. Among other things the vocals are not someone's Dad doing their worst Roger Waters impression but are actually, quite good and give the music its own identity. I especially like the performance on Suli's rise. The songs flow really well and there's a lot of extremely ambitious playing. Also bonus points for church organ. impressivelad
