INNER DRIVE “Oasis” (LIZARD CD 0104)
Debutto discografico per i russi INNER DRIVE, pubblicato orgogliosamente da Lizard records.
La band Moscovita, fondata nel 2006 (di definisce ispirata al progressive inglese, citando nomi come King Crimson e UK) guidata dal notevole tastierista Sergey Bolotov, sa proporre del progressive-fusion strumentale dal peculiare respiro sinfonico, dotato di straordinaria dinamicità e raffinatezza.
Dieci brani caratterizzati da tessiture avvincenti ed eleganti, con le tastiere sempre in rilievo, ottimamente supportate da eccellenti trame ritmiche, arricchite splendidamente da violino, flauto (particolarmente ispirati e di notevole tecnica quest’ultimi) e chitarra.
“Oasis” è un album che sa essere eclettico e travolgente, ai confini di un certo avant-prog-rock dalle connotazioni melodiche e cameristiche.
Una grande scoperta dal nuovo scenario progressive dell’est europeo!!
