For older folks who have known the first groups of progressive music (I mean a time only the under 20 years old...), 'David Cross' should tell them something because it is the violinist who was part of 'Crimson King' in the 1970s. After forty years to play with adults, he released several albums under the name 'David Cross Band'; 'Sign Of The Crow' is the latest. It is certain, not easy to get into this universe that mixes jazz, pop, rock and a hint of metal. It is a real melting pot of all of these styles and it is really after a long look that gained the very substance. 'Sign Of The Crow' title over 7 minutes takes us on a train to hell where the instruments take the lion's share. 'The Pool' completely in contrast is a ballad full of emotion with a very simple introduction to the song but very intense. In short, as you may have guessed, if you rather listen once, this album certainly is not for you. However you who take the time to soak up the music and who love diversity, then, you will adopt without a doubt this Sign Of The Crow... -Translated by Microsoft translator- | |
