Leírás
Rock, Prog Rock, 2014-es album.
Limited edition bakelit lemez LP kiadás.
Ez a Brimstone negyedik stúdió lemeze, a „Mannsverk” zeneileg visszanyúlik a korai rock, prog rock gyökerekhez, a szerzemények erősen rezonálnak a késő 1960-as és kora 1970-es évekre.
Ez az eddigi legprogresszívebb hangzásuk, a felvételeket a saját professzionális stúdiójukban készítették el, rengeteg eredeti „vintage” felszereléssel, technikával.
Kiemelten ajánlott minden: Genesis, Yes, King Crimson és Camel rajongónak.
After the virtual menagerie of instruments (everything from flutes to saxophones to accordions, choirs and violins) that graced their previous album, „Smorgasbord”, Mannsverk finds Brimstone back as a 4-piece, with a tight, muscular and poetic sound as the result.
The music easily transcends it influences though, and the end result is unmistakably Brimstone. Many of the songs are well beyond the 6-minute mark, one almost 10 minutes and another well past 12 minutes long. The musicianship and precise arrangements of the songs ensure, however, that Mannsverk never descends into boring solos or fruitless jamming.
The individual identity of each player is clearly stamped across the album, but still contributing to the greater whole. Listen for instance to the effortless fusion between Biffs thundering bass lines and Thomas Grnners relentless jazz- grooves, or the way Rolf Edvardsens tasteful vocals and genial guitar work never clash with ivory tinkler vind Grnners arsenal of organs, pianos, mellotrons and synthesizers.
