Description
This fifth Eclectic Maybe Band release from the studio of bassist / composer Guy Segers continues his concept of working with a huge pool of creative progressive musicians, with each track featuring a different combination. Somewhat more introspective and textural than its predecessor, Cosmic Light Clusters builds steadily from an opening trio of mood pieces through increasing activity and complexity as the album moves forward. Particularly engaging is Segers' use of voices and poetry on this recording.
A body of work is being build across these CDs which stands as some of the finest progressive music emerging from Europe in the last period.
