COMMENTS & REVIEWS
Marc Published on: 10 Aug 2003
"Creatures" is a very interesting and eclectic progressive rock album that should interest almost every fan of this style of music.

The first song "All This Time" is very much in the traditional 70's style. Powerful guitar, heavy drums and mellotron in the background. Nick Lieto's voice is in the Wetton/Stolt area and he sings quite well. Great opener!! The second track "Creatures" reminds me more of Frank Zappa. I guess this represents somewhat of an hommage from this ex cover band. Third song "The Celestial Metal Can" is very experimental and I must admit, not my cup of tea. I don't feel qualified to evaluate it. Next track "Gagutz" is a very good fusion piece. Finally "Waterfall Carinval", clocking at more then 20 minutes, is an incredible epic prog masterpiece in the vein of early nineties Echolyn (and perhaps also Kansas). Just for this one you should buy this cd, and since there is much more good stuff to listen to...

Highly recommended.
