Info:
After APHRODITE’S CHILD, VANGELIS and SOCRATES during the Seventies, Greece is once again waking up to Progressive rock. The leading band of this new generation, LA TULIPE NOIRE is a classically composed quintet. This talented line-up performs a refined and quiet Progressive rock that develops baroque and solemn melodies. The Singer IMA’s clear and pure vocals can remind of that of Virginia ASTLEY. S. KONTAKIS’s guitar sounds like David GILMOUR’s whereas ALIX’s keyboards weave quiet layers that marvellously complete precious and melancholic themes. As for the rhythm section, assured by drummer Nick KASSAVETIS and bassist HYDE, it is definitely solid. Leaving somehow aside the MARILLION inherited influences, "Shattered Image" (1999) is able to develop an original sound. Quickly pick this rare flower, it will nicely decorate your secret garden devoted to Progressive rock...
