MACHIAVEL were one of Belgian best known symphonic progressive rock band of the 70's who released 3 excellent albums. "Jester" was MACHIAVEL's second album released and pretty much delivers on their patented symphonic prog pop style with excellent light complex playing. Musically this band were top notch with some killer keyboard, guitar, bass and drum interplay. Being a symphonic prog band, "Jester"'s focus is predominantly full of great keyboard work utilizing the moog, organ, mellotron, Fender Rhodes and others polyphonic instruments. I always hear folks reference MACHIAVEL in terms of parallels to GENESIS but I do not really get this. more of a cross of SUPERTRAMP say and ANGE. This album offers a nice varied range of themes and ideas from pop-like phrases to symphonic mountains of mashed potatoes. One thing MACHIAVEL were able to do is certainly write memorable music and had a knack of writing prog music that would really stick in your head and you will find yourself hours later humming parts of this album (at least this does it for me!).
