Taal - Mister Green (mini-lp sleeve)
SKU
01-Mals-MUSEA 4348
This 2000 release was the band's 3rd album, but their first to not be self-released and generally available. This is obvously in the progressive rock vein, but it is not typical progressive rock - or really typical anything. Heavy bits that might be in the vein of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum with Nick Didkovsky guitar leads combine with extended instrumentation more reminsicent of passages by Miriodor and back again. The line up is: vocals, electric and acoustic guitars, keyboards, bass & drums with the addition of guests on string quartet and saxes and flute.
"This incredible band mixes the same influences, with a more present eastern-Europe folk/gipsy influence. Powerful, agressive guitars, neo-classical or folk string parts, subtle keyboard parts, an explosive rhythm section, create an astounding music, sometimes festive and sometimes tortured, also with more peaceful or symphonic moments."
Well, yeah! I want some of that!
