Nice review in Progression Magazine!
Some great words in PROG Magazine!
« You know the 21st century? Well Arabs In Aspic don't, and they only
began in 1997. For all their devotion to 60s psychedelic rock and the
early Black Sabbath-like weight and atmosphere that wavers between 'evil
fairground' and party-friendly King Crimson, they manage to be
fabulously indulgent and also sound fresh. With Pictures In A Dream
they've elaborated on the vocal harmonies to gloriously stirring effect,
built on organ elements (growing since the arrival of keysman Stig
Arve Jørgensen) and, quite simply, become better songwriters - even
adding a few Norwegian lyrics for even mfurther mystique. Things get
off to a strong start with unquestionably good tune Rejected Wasteland.
The Robert Plant-like banshee gasps and retro horror movie organ in
You Are Blind evolve suddenly into a very catchy, major vocal refrain -
powered up by Focus-channelling guitar chops and organ blasts.
Robustly menacing classic rock riffery propels Hard To Find, while
organ stylings and layered 70s harmonies keep one foot decidedly in the
past. If you haven't heard Arabs In Aspic, this is a good point at
which to join them. Onwards and upwards, oh retro yet feisty
Scandinavians... PG »
