FADED LEAVES
TULIPE NOIRE (LA)
2002 , GREECE - Out of print/Fuori stampa
Label: MUSEA
ALBUM REVIEW
As described on Musea website: “ LA TULIPE NOIRE is a classical-built quintet. This gifted band plays a delicate and muffled neo Progressive, developing itself into solemn and baroque melodies. Singer IMA’s clear and pure vocals can be compared with Virginia ASTLEY’s. S. KONTAKIS’ guitar is very much inspired by David GILMOUR, as ALIX’s keyboards play discreet layers embellishing precious and melancholic themes. About the rhythmic section, drummer Nick KASSAVETIS and bass player HYDE, the least we can say is that everything’s solid and in the right place. Partly abandoning the traditional MARILLION influences, "Faded Leaves" (2002) develop a sound of its own, still keeping the trumps that made "In The Gates Of Dream" (1996) & "Shattered Image" (1999) so much charming”.
