SYZYGY

Label: SYZYGY MUSIC ENT.
ALBUM REVIEW
Few of you may remember the American band Witsend, whose outstanding 1993 debut Cosmos and Chaos went out-of-print far too quickly, but has now been repressed (see below). Syzygy is the same band after taking time out to raise families, and 2003’s The Allegory of Light vaults them right back near the top of the American prog rock heap. This is complex, clever, heavily-instrumental prog rock played by top-notch musicians, mixing the old and the new. Influences and reference points include ELP, UK, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Transatlantic, Planet X,... you get the picture. 63-minutes. (Just for Kicks)
