In a timespan of 10 years Mangrove is a well appreciated Neo/sympho band from the Netherlands releasing their own material by
Mangrovian Music.
After four studio albums and one live album this is their first DVD.
The concert recording from 27 juni 2009 - Beyond Reality Live at the Gigant (Apeldoorn, NL)- is again self produced and was the evening of the CD presentation of Beyond Reality.
First set of this concert is The Black Show. This is because of the black clothes the band is wearing.
The set contains a kind of Best of from their previous work.
The album is praised and recommended in many reviews. Their best album so far !!
The first part of the concert builts up to from the acoustic Fear by Day to one of my favourites There must be another day with an amazing guitar solo.
Instrumentaly the are amazing and they show passionate and enthousiasm in ther performance. The only criticism i can bring up is the vocal parts of Ronald van der Horst. His voice is not powerfull and is sometimes insecure but i don't mind.
Overall it's a delite to listen to Mangrove's music.
In their 10 year carrier this memorable concert recording is a milestone to hopefully a much longer carrier. Therefor this is a must to Mangrove fans.
