(Psychedelic/Neo-prog) Nangyala - Spheres (1997), FLAC (image+.cue+artwork) lossless

This symphonic/psych band has its its roots in PINK PROJECT, a 12-musician set who have performed spectacular live shows of PINK FLOYD's "The Wall" and "Dark Side of the Moon" in front of 10,000 + audiences. Both at home (Netherlands) and in Belgium, they have also shared the stage with the likes of TIMOTHY PURE, FOR ABSENT FRIENDS, RACCOON, SUBURBS and CARTHAGO. They were first to perform in the "Omniversum' in The Hague, providing live accompaniment to the IMAX film "Destiny in Space". In 1995, five of the twelve musicians decided to form NANGYALA and compose some original material. Over a three-year period and as many CDs, they went through several personnel changes and in 2001, due to personal and irreconcilable musical differences, finally disbanded.

Their three releases (all mini-CDs) have a definite Floydian flavour as well as a mild prog-metal edge. Their debut CD, "Spheres", features good keyboard and guitar solos although the vocals may take a little getting used to. The slightly harder-edged "Born Gufted/Paragon" has more of a metal feel but still has a Floydian feel (twanging guitars); it also introduces a new vocalist who shares duties with the former. Their last CD, "Eyes Open Wide", focuses slightly more on the songwriting but is still proggy. All three albums offer good musicianship, original melodies, moving dramatic build-ups and nice electronic effects (loops and sequences) without drowning the music in them.

Should interest fans of PINK FLOYD, FOR ABSENT FRIENDS and PORCUPINE TREE.
