5.0 out of 5 stars YES - this sounds familiar
I can't imagine anyone hearing a song off this album not liking the song, but you'd be way off judging this album by just one or two songs. Very canterbury-folky in places, rocks in other places. Some might think the album lacks focus; it is not a theme oriented piece, which in my case is a welcome relief. Some of these songs are downright bouyant. As expected, the...

3.0 out of 5 stars Ritual - self-titled (Inside Out)
Looks to be the Swedish folk/progressive rock band's second effort.I know I've seen this CD available in various dealer catalogs,online stores,etc. Only downside of this CD is that I thought it was simply TOO Yes-like. Other than that,it's a decent effort by the little known four piece. Tunes I was semi-impressed with were "Wingspread","Solitary Man" and the catchy...

This review is from: Ritual (Audio CD)
I can't imagine anyone hearing a song off this album not liking the song, but you'd be way off judging this album by just one or two songs. Very canterbury-folky in places, rocks in other places. Some might think the album lacks focus; it is not a theme oriented piece, which in my case is a welcome relief. Some of these songs are downright bouyant. As expected, the musicianship is great, but the heart put into these performances suggest a real enthusiasm and sentiment for the material. I'd recommend this album to any fan of '70s progressive rock, and of course, it has its Yes-ish moments, but I wouldn't at all compare this group to other keyboard driven bands like Glass Hammer or Cairo because the use of keyboards are kept in-check by a multitude of acoustic instruments giving this album has a very organic feel, not a over-processed, strident sound like some non-metal prog bands do now-a-days. This album stays in regular rotation and I can see fans of The Flower Kings being very taken with it.

Looks to be the Swedish folk/progressive rock band's second effort.I know I've seen this CD available in various dealer catalogs,online stores,etc. Only downside of this CD is that I thought it was simply TOO Yes-like. Other than that,it's a decent effort by the little known four piece. Tunes I was semi-impressed with were "Wingspread","Solitary Man" and the catchy "Independence Day"(good riff). Line-up:Patrik Lundstrom-guitar&vocals,Fredrik Lindquist-bass,Jon Gamble-keyboards&harmonica and Johan Nordgren-drums.Just might appeal to some fans of Genesis,Yes,Alan Parsons and Flash.
