So there it is, the new Pinkloyd studio album. The first in twenty years. What do you say to a researcher who has been believed dead for twenty years, who suddenly returns from the ice? "Nice to have you back," huh?
Riverside mastermind Mariusz Duda is a similarly great sound visionary as Steven Wilson. While his English colleague created the playground Storm Corrosion in order to create dreamy, picture-rich sound art with Opeth guitarist Mikael Åkerfeldt, the Pole regularly escapes the harder prog of his main band on the wings of his much more filigree project Lunatic Soul.
"Whenever he took pills" was the name of a US television series that caused a sensation in the USA in 1967 as "Mr. Terrific" and from 1970 with a German title on ZDF. The parents of the four Blues Pills probably also grew up with Stanley Beamish, who got superpowers from pills. The period in which this series flickered across the screens can confidently be described as the musical reference period of the young band.
In literature, in painting and also in film, the motif of the maelstrom is often used to describe a vortex of water that draws everything mercilessly into the depths. However, it is not so well known that there is a real model for this frightening vortex, which is thematized in Jules Verne's novel "20,000 Miles Under the Sea" and Edgar Allan Poe's narrative "Down into the Maelstrom": the Mosque Traumen, which lies between the Norwegian Lofoten Islands.
A lot has happened in the five years since "Frequency": With Neil Durant a new keyboarder has joined the band, and bass player Tim Esau has returned. The newly formed band has passed the live fire test long ago, and with "The Road Of Bones" they now deliver one of the albums for which fans have been appreciating them since the early eighties: Progressive rock music with a dark impact, complexly arranged, wonderfully produced and with a Peter Nicholls, who grows beyond himself vocally time and time again.
