Back to Bible Black with II - Message From Moonbase [FLAC limited time only]

 



Information on this release here.  Earlier I posted the first album and the 1984 cassette from their guitarist, called Rose, back here, long ago.  So last year, 40 years after that first cassette, 12 years after the first CD, they posted a second album with the above title, approximately in a similar style to the first Bible Black, so a very enjoyable King Crimson-like mix of symphonic and typical hard guitar prog sounds, perhaps like their compatriots Social Tension posted here.

The Opening or Intro makes it clear exactly what we're dealing with here, taking us right back to the great classics of the late 1970s in synthesizer prog:



It's followed by Subway:


And the remainder of the composition just follows in the same vein, without any let up.  Really good, classic prog.  Obviously, the guitarwork by Rose is just stunning, but the synth player, who is this guy, equally magnificent.

A track called Poison brings back the great Frippian dissonant riffs:

  2. Greetings Julianryan! Only recently have I come across your blog. Have been enjoying stuff I've not come across before! You wouldn't by chance have a copy of Griot Galaxy - Opus Krampus, by chance? Next to impossible to find anywhere. Sendspace, if you don't mind. Many thanks!

  3. I am always down for some JapanProg, even the neo era produced a few good bands. Are Noa on your list? I've had trouble finding a couple titles via torrents or the ProgRockWorld site. Julian Cope's too snooty to appreciate Japan's appropriations of the West's better-known Prog entries, but I'm all in.
