Nobody really was aware of a █ █ recording named "The suite" that happened around █ █ 1980 and presents the folky side of ANALOGY who █ █ seemed at least quite creative for a time when █ █ electronic pop took over the whole music scene █ █ from disco sounds and poisoned the minds of █ █ musicians and fans even more. ANALOGY went into █ █ the opposite direction and reached out for musical █ █ realms that have been visited by legendary English █ █ acts like TREES, FAIRPORT CONVENTION or STEELEYE █ █ SPAN a decade or longer ago. Dramatic and powerful █ █ rock with a progressive edge meets mystical and █ █ magical British folk in a way that you might think █ █ this is rather an English or Irish original band █ █ from 1972 than a bunch of Germans about to cross █ █ the threshold to the 80s when music went plastic. █ █ This is handmade and the musicians play with a █ █ simmering passion. Two epic compositions were █ █ originally part of "The suite" but for this mighty █ █ reissue a bunch of bonus tracks has been unearthed █ █ from the vaults to add even more value to this █ █ gem. You will automatically be dragged into a █ █ world like a fairytale when you turn on this █ █ record even though it all just happens in your █ █ imagination. Several passages have a theatrical █ █ approach and feel like music from a stageplay and █ █ movie like "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" or █ █ records good old MEAT LOAF has recorded in the █ █ late 70s but those aspects are only tinges of █ █ color in an overwhelming sound picture drawn by a █ █ truly progressive band. For everybody who loves █ █ the heavier HORSLIPS and epic stuff like OMEGA █ █ with their "Suite" from 1974. This album develops █ █ passage for passage and makes this journey into █ █ your dreams a worthwhile trip. █ █ █ █ Track-list: █ █ 1. The Suite A (16:04) █ █ - a. Sink Or Swim █ █ - b.
