| CONTRAPPUNTO « Subsidea » What a strange object. An Italian band published by a Brazilian label ! Beyond that peculiarity, this is nice progressive rock, a bit young perhaps but truly progressive, in the IQ meaning of the word. This doesn't mean you'll find a clone to Peter Nicholls (the singer is a woman) but the keyboards, the guitars and the style are often similar. Fluid guitars, melancholy piano parts... What is young then ? The sound first, the melodies and the arrangements and mostly the accent (the vocals are sung in English). But forget those slight mistakes and enjoy such beauty as 'She, God Bringer' for instance. (RR) (PRW) |
