Inner Wound\/Sound Pollution<\/p>\n
Swedish quintet ANDROMEDA dates back to 1999. Six albums and one DVD later they are well-known in Scandinavia and Europe. They have played ProgPOwer USA and Slottsskogen Goes Progressive, and this is said to be their most mature effort so far.<\/p>\n
This might be over the wall even in prog circles. Opener \u201cPreemptive Strike\u201dis a piece of advanced musical gymnastics, and quite heavy for its kind. \u201cLies\u00b4r\u00b4Us\u201d heads down the same path, twisted even to the limit of not being engaging. They get away far better with the compelling \u201cStay Unaware\u201d and the rather cozy \u201cSurvival of the Richest\u201d. A tad of heedless thrash is probably present in the stomping \u201cFalse Flag\u201d but everything pales in comparison with the chanting \u201cChosen by God\u201d. But that is later followed up by \u201cAntidote, which is slightly neoclassic, sports a fine 80\u00b4s style refrain a keyboard solo of class. What makes ANDROMEDA interesting is their ability to be diverse in an easygoing effortless way. Their ulti-prog is spiced up with many musical influences, in sparse doses, and a heaviness unusual for the genre. I think I will follow suit and do as the info says, \u201cOpen Your Ears and you too will transcend into the multifaceted galaxy of Andromeda!\u201d<\/p>\n
