Man Overboard

With 7 releases now under their belt, it was probably inevitable that this bands name became a lot more familiar to a lot more people. Sure, this is Neo prog but the band have done a pretty admirable job with this release by trying to deliver a slightly more instrumental sound and yet doing so in a way that does not get lost in its own shadow.
With 9 original sounding songs ranging from 3.32 minutes to 7.20 minutes, Fruitcake have elected to not get caught up with too many long epics that can often mar a bands output. The songs presented here have that sharp and concise approach that lets you know the band is doing its job properly and not getting bogged down with excessive noodling or meaningless drivel…

The team behind last year's excellent The Glory Days Of Aussie Pub Rock compilation return with another four-CD instalment paying testament to the halcyon days of our nation's live music scene, and fortunately they have a deep well from which to draw tunes and inspiration.

A MASTERPIECE PROGRESSIVE MUSIC
Oh yeah … what do you expect more from a progressive music album if the musicians offer you with a music which has a balanced between complexity and harmony yet it’s adventurous in nature? Well, this is the case with this album. Even though this album was released too soon after their previous release “The Rainmaker” (2001) this follow-up album still have the same excellent quality as its predecessor.
