SWAPPERS ELEVEN “FROM A DISTANCE”
neo-progressive rock 2020, 1st studio CD multi
international.
Znakomity, pierwszy album międzynarodowej formacji neo-progresywnej zadowoli wszystkich wielbicieli progresywnego grania od Pendragonu, przez takie formacje jak Arena, Galahad, Marillion. Ale nie jest to jakiekolwiek naśladownictwo. Formacja wypracowała swój niepowtarzalny styl, a imponujący zestaw muzyków stworzył progresywne dzieło na miarę XXi wieku.
SWAPPERS ELEVEN został utworzony przez trzech zwycięzców konkursu Marillion Swap The Band, który w różnych latach i na różnych kontynentach odbywał się w ramach "MARILLION WEEKEND". To Allesandro Carmassi, Luiz Alvim i Gary Foalle. Zaprosili oni dodatkowo 14stu muzyków z różnych krajów. Efekt można podziwiać i usłyszeć na płycie wydanej 27 lipca 2020 przez polski label OSKAR.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!!!
Excellent, the first album of the international neo-progressive formation will please all lovers of progressive playing from Pendragon, through such formations as Arena, Galahad, Marillion. But this is not any imitation. The formation has developed its unique style, and an impressive set of musicians created a progressive work tailored to the 21st century.
SWAPPERS ELEVEN was created by the three winners of the Marillion's Swap The Band contest, which took place as part of the "MARILLION WEEKEND" in different years and on different continents.
