Split Test

As paradoxical (or even absurd) as it may sound, speaking of Canterbury jazz-prog made in A Coruña, a major city at the North Eastern coast of Spain, in the 21st Century is, indeed, a matter of fact, an actual reality - its specific name is Amoeba Split. Formed in late 2001 after the demise of the psychedelic rock group RAMA Lama Fafafa, Amoeba Split was born with an aim to deliver an adventurous progressive rock approach in the marginal side of Galicia's rock scene. The subsequent additions of musicians in charge of sax and flute determined that the new band had to be headed toward a jazz-rock orientation, which in turn became a Canterbury-ish feel in no small degree influenced by Soft Machne, Matching Mole and Hatfield & The North. February 2003 was the time when Amoeba Split recorded and released a self-produced demo, which comprised tracks.

This is the time to celebrate the emergence of such a lovely progressive dance in the key of 21st century Canterbury? From Spain's Northeastern coast, Amoeba Split has delivered a beautiful album in which jazzy vibrations and melodic colorfulness fuse in an appealing dynamics. Four years was the time that Amoeba Split took to complete this album's repertoire little by little, and now "Dance Of The Goodbyes" is a brilliant reality. A must for Canterbury fans out there.
Out of print for many years, this new limited edition on double cd (glass master) is really special! CD 1 features the newly remastered "Dance of the Goodbyes" album, and CD 2 includes the demo recorded in 2003, never officially released, to which the legendary demo of the song "Flight to Nowhere" is added as a bonus…

"Quiet Euphoria" presents the magical alchemy of surreal atmospheres, lightness, and jazz flavor to reach its stylistic and expressive peak. There is room for everything: experimentation, delicacy, and power, they all manage to coexist in this album with a thousand faces, very tight and full of feeling in a fully jazz-rock sound. With this album the band delivers another masterpiece that will definitely, and with every right, resonate into the world of prog and jazz rock and become an inevitable classic of this music.
