  • They Say...

    Do you like your music delivered with certain sense of indefinability? If so, you might well enjoy this one. Electrum presents a form of music that is definitely progressive rock, but beyond that distinction their music is very hard to label. You might hear various leanings drifting out here and there (fusion, Led Zeppelin, King Crimson, and Rush, to name a few), but the band seldom stays in one place for very long. Instead of leaning heavily on their influences, they seem to prefer the "touch-and-go" approach. This practice lends the group a unique sound, something that is often too rare. All the members of the band are definitely accomplished musicians, another plus. The only things out of place are an occasional moment or two that seems to show a slight lack of musical maturity and a production that leaves just a little to be desired. Neither of these elements really takes away from the enjoyment of the album, though. This should make an entertaining diversion for progressive rock fans, wherever they are.
