After the Spaniards of 'Glasswork', the month of June has spoiled us with progressive rock album releases because it is the turn of the Norwegians of 'Professor Tip Top' to come out a new album, 'Tomorrow is Delayed', after 'Life Is No Matter' in 2017 and 'Hybrid Hymns' in 2019. Everything is still implemented to offer us a very pleasant progressive rock inherited from the 70s in a psychedelic style.
From the first titles 'Erebus', 'In The Mirror' and 'Under Crystal Stars', we embark on peaceful melodies that can be listened to quietly on headphones, and the suite continues in this register with the beautiful soothing voice of 'Sonja Otto', magnificent performer of melodic lines straight out of the 70s and it's names like 'Barclay James Harvest' or 'Pink Floyd' that come to mind when listening to songs like 'The Ghost Within', 'Beneath the Silence' or even the progressive development reminiscent of the beginning of the 'Floyds' 'Objet Petit A' and we also have the right to a little more energy with 'Tomorrow is Delayed', the album ending in the sweetness with 'Earth' in which 'Sonjo Otto' cradles us one last time.
In summary, even if they take existing influences without bringing real novelties, the Norwegians of 'Professor Tip Top' are releasing a new album very pleasant to listen to and 'Tomorrow is Delayed' is recommended to a whole audience loving progressive music which is calm and filled with serenity, coming straight from an era which saw this style of music taking off... | |
