On Pilgrimmage the listener gets to enjoy some seventies inspired Prog. The vintage style keyboards (great organ play indeed) are almost always to the forefront, the other instruments staying more to the background but in a very tastefull manner. The lead guitar does have it's moment to shine, the soloing being done in a Gilmour/Latimer style.The first three tracks are in a song based format but stretch into instrumental interplay and soloing. Mostly because of the lead vocals (very John Wetton like), but also because of the music style, I am reminded of Danger Money period UK and also Asia. The music then shifts gear with the two part instrumental Building A Perfect Universe. Finally the album ends with two quieter tracks. On this second part of Pilgrimmage the mood turns more into some Pink Floyd inspired music. As a bonus you get a live track and an edited version of "Circus Of The Absurd".
Those into the classic sound of the seventies Prog should do themselves a favour and check Pilgrimmage out. There are a lot of music samples on the band's website so treat yourself to some very cool music. Who said you just can't find great music like that anymore? You just have to go on a Pilgrimmage to get some.
