From a Fading World - Rubber Tea. This fantastic young German group continues to impress. On their second album, it's immediately evident that the band is willing to push their boundaries further. Their flirtation with Canterbury becomes more pronounced, and their delightful singer exudes a newfound boldness. Right from the start, the saxophone emerges, leading us into a melodic journey reminiscent of the pride Caravan would feel if they had produced it. While the group's style is labeled as neoprog, don't expect just another Marillion clone; instead, you're greeted with a remarkably mature band that effortlessly navigates styles evoking Camel, Caravan, Beardfish, Pink floyd, Big big train, Phideaux, Khan and King crimson. Attempting to describe this eclectic mix is a challenge in itself. The songs seamlessly blend together, creating a captivating flow throughout the album, prompting you to check your CD player to track your progress. Their ability to transition from tranquil subtlety to intricate complexity is admirable, never compromising the underlying melodies. The enchanting vocals complement the music flawlessly, never overshadowing the instrumental prowess. There's ample room for musical exploration, allowing each track to evolve organically. This marks yet another triumph for the burgeoning German band, deserving of wider recognition. From: https://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=11437
