COMBINATION HEAD S.A.M. RECORDS 2006

..This is the latest and greatest prog band out of England,..an instrumental band formed by veteran musicians,of which prog fans should at least be familiar with drummer Paul Burgess for his stints with Camel and Jethro Tull . The primary composer is Paul Birchall , who a long resume in the music industry. Birchall focuses on Hammond and other vintage keys and so the style here is very 1970s prog - oriented , but done with modern production and high-energy.In fact , it may be the best instrumental prog to come out of England since the 70s .The music often has the flowing nature of Camel , and there are also aspects of Caravan,ELP,Argent,and other classic prog bands...

Its no wonder reviewers are stumbling over each other to heap praise upon this band.Combination Head seems unlikley to be a one-shot wonder as they re already working on the follow-up album.The other 70s-oriented aspect of theiir debut is that it clocks in at 38-minutes,but you would nt pass on Close to the Edge for that reason,would you?If you visit the C.H website, you’ll find a video at the Audio Visual link. ..KINESIS CD.COM..
