GALLEON - KING OF ARAGON - 1995

GALLEON's fourth studio album is both melodic and keyboard driven and very accessible.I love the picture of these Swede's in the liner notes,they could not possibly have bigger smiles on their faces.It's great!The record starts off with "King of Aragon" with a keyboard intro,and a good beat,a good way to start.The vocals are very good and there is a synth melody and some keyboard,drum interplay."Crime Wave" features a piano melody throughout and some great keyboard runs."From Square to Circle" is an upbeat tune with lots of keys."Illusive Exhibition" is a happy,lovely song,with tempo shifts contrasted.I really like the pastoral passages."Fall of Spring" is a favourite of mine, with tempo changes and some heavy passages."Long Lonely Shadows" is a dark and heavy tune,with what sounds like church organ and some GENESIS sounding keyboard sections.This is fantastic NEO prog that i highly recommend.Well done!
