Album of the Day

Boomerang, by Tea in the Sahara (1996): To follow up on my Hungarian disc from last week, here is one of two German discs I own. This one suffers somewhat from the fact that English is not these guys' native tongue (you tell me what "usucaption" means, 'cause Merriam-Webster sure as hell can't), which is a shame because the vocals themselves are fairly strong. And the music is some of the best modern symphonic prog I've heard. Lots of nice acoustic piano, tasty guitar and synth leads, and just enough scope to keep things interesting.
