Here is another great album by an obscure French-Canadian band. Not really heard of in the Prog world, Visible Wind are a group of talented musicians as can be heard on this album. The music is unlike any other I have heard, and has a great blend of light and dark and heavy and light moments. The track 'The Awakening' is a highlight with about 21 minutes of sheer listening pleasure.
I cannot link the sound with any other Prog band I listen to, but this one is up among my favorites. This album is highly recommended for someone that is looking for that different Progressive sound. The musicians: Stef Geysens (Keyboards, vocals), Luc Herbert (Drums), Louis Roy (Bass) and Denis Champoux (Guitar). All are very skilled and talented at their instruments. A previous album of theirs I can recommend is "Emergence" (1994). This is another album of excellent quality. It is a shame Amazon.com do not stock Visible Winds' catalogue. ...
