│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ http://www.myspace.com/amaransplight ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ This is the debut album from a band (or a ║ │
│║ project? I really don't know) that can be ║ │
│║ definitely characterized as supergroup. You'll ║ │
│║ agree with me if you take me minute and look ║ │
│║ over the lineup; there you'll find DC Cooper who ║ │
│║ is already know to us from his works with ROYAL ║ │
│║ HUNT and lately with SILENT FORCE, Gary Wehrkamp ║ │
│║ who is into Progressive Metal along with SHADOW ║ │
│║ GALLERY, Nick D'Virgilio who has performed as a ║ │
│║ drummer with famous artists and acts like ║ │
│║ SPOCK'S BEARD, GENESIS and FATES WARNING and ║ │
│║ last but not least the bassist Kurt Barabas who ║ │
│║ has co-operated with VOYAGER and SILENT SON ║ │
│║ amongst others. ║ │
│║ The expectations are really high taking into ║ │
│║ account the rich biography of AMARAN'S PLIGHT's ║ │
│║ members. Fortunately, those (actually my) ║ │
│║ expectations were fully met as soon as the CD ║ │
│║ has stopped spinning in my player. These guys ║ │
│║ have used their talent in making the fitting ║ │
│║ music for the story that is told in this concept ║ │
│║ album. The story behind the lyrics was based on ║ │
│║ the homonymous novel by John W. Crawford who is ║ │
│║ also the executive producer of the album. In ║ │
│║ this album you can get almost everything from ║ │
│║ AOR to Progressive Metal; Wehrkamp has done an ║ │
│║ excellent work on the clean and distorted ║ │
│║ guitars while DC Cooper proves once again that ║ │
│║ he owns a wonderful voice that I feel is ║ │
│║ underestimated. The crystal clean production ║ │
│║ gives space to every musical organ and you can ║ │
│║ really enjoy the solid rhythm section built by ║ │
│║ the bass guitar and the steady drumming. ║ │
│║ The 11-minute trilogy Incident At Haldeman's ║ │
│║ Lake with the very good keyboard and vocal ║ │
│║ melodies and the clean guitar arpeggios is an ║ │
│║ audio proof of what happens when talented ║ │
│║ musicians create music for the sake of music and ║ │
│║ not the money. Among the album highlights there ║ │
│║ are the emotional I Promise You where Cooper ║ │
│║ shares the vocal duties with Trisha O'Keefe the ║ │
│║ fast guitar driven Viper and the opus Revelation ║ │
│║ that ideally closes the story comprising some ║ │
│║ very good guitar (excellent tapping) and ║ │
│║ keyboard solos. You can really sink your teeth ║ │
│║ in this album after the third audition or more ║ │
│║ since there are a lot to discover in this album ║ │
│║ and I am sure that you'll find yourself most ║ │
│║ pleased in doing so. ║ │
│║ If you are familiar to DC Cooper's musical ║ │
│║ background and Progressive Rock is your cup of ║ │
│║ tea then you should acquire this album without ║ │
│║ second thoughts and enjoy the story told by a ║ │
│║ most talented and experienced quartet. ║ │
