(Progressive Rock/Canterbury) Amoeba Split - Second Split - 2016, MP3, 320 kbps

Circa 2003+ outfit from an obscure nook in Spain, playing Canterbury prog-fusion with Liberian cultural elements.

Editorial Reviews
What if the Canterbury School has been relocated to the North of Spain ? Hailing from A Coruna, AMOEBA SPLIT is a present band that mix Progressive rock, jazz and classical music, not unlike HATFIELD AND THE NORTH, SOFT MACHINE or MATCHING MOLE in the Seventies. The quintet has been founded in the year 2001, and it took the musicians nine years to release their first album, "Dance Of The Goodbyes". It was worth the wait, since it was nominated by ProgAwards as "Best Prog Debut Album Of 2010". The first edition was limited to five hundred copies, and is now reissued by Musea and Azafran Media. Here's an unique occasion to rediscover this piece of work, made of five long pieces, mainly instrumental but also featuring the English lyrics of Maria TORO. Let's also mention the opening short-piece and its evocative title: "Dedicated To Us, But We Weren't Listening". Not to be missed ! The sophomore effort by the Spanish band, aptly named "Second Split" (Musea, 2016), doesn't aim at changing the world. Why trying to change your style, when it's perfect already ? In any case, this second instrumental album fully confirms our first impression: AMOEBA SPLIT is definitely a must-have !
