Editorial Reviews
Product Description
"This Mexican band can be noticed by its quality and numerous production. Despite its unexpected sudden appearance, CAST possesses all the components to create a very good and symphonic Progressive rock. The vocals are well placed, full of emotion, evoking John WETTON, the instrumental parts are energetic and intelligent, the compositions are ambitious and the rhythms can be placed on the same level as GENTLE GIANT. Also, the melodies are powerful and full of energy. The band plays a highly elaborated Progressive rock, melodious and virtuoso at the same time. The complex writing blends with superb combinations on keyboards and guitar. The strong and elaborated melodies evoke HAPPY THE MAN, ECHOLYN and the US Progressive school, with a hint of YES, Steve HACKETT and GENESIS, or even PREMIATA FORNERIA MARCONI In the more lyrical and airy pieces. On ""A Live Record"", CAST performs a melodious and elegant music in the style of CAMEL, GENESIS or IQ, with a symphonic dimension mainly coming from the keyboards. This live album gives the possibility to hear their best titles recorded between 1995 and 1998. ""Imaginary Windows"" is their latest record. As in the former albums, they perform perfectly buit compositions, that don't leave aside their usual lyricism and that are noticeable because of their suggestive vocals and instrumental density that mixes guitar, keyboards (Piano, synthesizers) and an airy flute. Recommended !"
