One of the best prog releases of 2008 IMO. Out of the UK, Diagonal is an eclectic prog band, a throwback to the '70's with the influences of Camel, King Crimson, Gong, GG, Floyd and even Hawkwind. Hammond and Moog shimmers throughout with erratic jazz drumming, heavy guitars and tranquil synths with echoing vocals and surrealistic lyrics. Vintage vibes.

Did you post these guys before in your prog thread ,Joe ? Seems like I remember you doing just that. Am I mistaken ?

Very very interesting music. Vocals are weak, but hey, as long as the music is this good.

Oh yeah, that's right because the prog thread was late 60's to 70's, only.
I knew I had heard them before though and yeah it was from one of your posts in my retro thread.

Having listened to the whole album I think it is a great record. Very surprised by it. One more influence together with the already mentioned ones is Van der Graaf Generator, and that's very good.

These guys have a lot of influence ef. Sometimes it takes one to listen the whole album a couple times to appreciate the music, especially prog. I know it's the case for me. Glad you're likin' it.
