Hello All!
Залит Red_Sand/(2021)_Sound_Of_The_Seventh_Bell
Новый альбом этой замечательной канадской прогрессив-рок-группы.
ОТЛИЧНЫЙ альбом!
Местами ностальгически прошибает Пинк Флойдом и Генезисом, но никакого
подражания, всё строго своё.
Группа уже не один 10-к лет выдаёт на-гора отличные альбомы. Уважам!
Диск с веба, бонуса, к сожалению, нет, энивей,
ВЕСЬМА ВЕСЬМА ВЕСЬМА РЕКОМЕНДУЮ!!

The Sound of the Seventh Bell
Red Sand
Neo-Prog, 2021
(c) Review by TenYearsAfter, PA
This is studio-album # 10 by the Canadian trio Red Sand since their debut
Mirror Of Insanity from 2004, multi- instrumentalist Simon Caron and drummer
Perry Angelillo are members from the beginning, singer Steff Dorval joined Red
Sand since the second effort Gentry, from 2005.
About the previous CD entitled Crush The Seed wrote: "On this new effort I
notice that Red Sand still make simply structured prog with the focus on
colouring the music with wonderful work on guitar and keyboards. Singer Steff
Dorval has a distinctive voice, very intense and with a strong melancholy
undertone."
Well, again Red Sand will not disappoint the many fans around the world with
this new album. Lots of intense mellow climates, very melodic and harmonic,
embellished with sensitive guitar work (between Steve Rothery and David
Gilmour), pleasant, often melancholy vocals and a tasteful keyboard sound.
My highlights.
The Sound Of The Seventh Bell, Part 1 (5:44) starts with dreamy vocals and
acoustic guitars, in a folky climate. Then a slow rhythm featuring a powerful
bass, followed by a moving and fiery guitar solo, finally majestic Mellotron
choirs and bell sounds.
The Sound Of The Seventh Bell, Part 2 (7:56) delivers tender piano play and
howling electric guitar, then an accellaration with a tight beat and
synthesizer flights, soon Mellotron choirs join in a Cinema Show (Genesis)-like
rhythm, in the second part lots of howling guitar soli, a Red Sand trademark.
Cracked Road (21:05) is the longest composition. First a mellow climate with a
spacey synthesizer solo and then sensitive Gilmourian guitar runs, it strongly
evokes Shine On... by Pink Floyd. Halfway a surprising break with propulsive
drum beats and moving guitar, and finally a bombastic atmosphere with howling
guitar and emotional vocals.
The bonus track I Can Feel It (4:20) contains a dreamy atmosphere with a slow
rhythm, beautiful soaring Hammond organ and warm vocals, finally sensitive
electric guitar solo, simply wonderful.

Enjoy!
