With this reissue of ' Lighthouse 'Norwegians of Oak', it is an opportunity to discover this band evolving into a pop/rock style occasionally flirting with metal. After a very atmospheric 'Prelude' introduction, it is entitled to a first title 'Home' very pop and removed with a theme that immediately enters you the head. Then comes 'Perceiving Red', a ballad where the voice of Simen is very soft and fits perfectly in this atmosphere similar to what could be 'Airbag' or 'Anathema'. 'Munich' is a beautiful song where the chorus is more powerful with an end in crescendo that begins at the piano which then come add electric instruments to finish in a few piano notes. The title track is probably 'The Sea', which starts with a piano/voice part then leaves room for a quiet acoustic guitar for an instrumental part and an end which is growing. In summary, 'Oak', in atmospheric style, is a controlling group perfectly the nuances where followers of progressive music should hang as their compositions are very accessible...
