Fear Of Flying: Fear Of Flying
Fear Of Flying is energetic and richly layered neo prog, with several
tracks that might prompt you to reach for the "replay" button.
The
singing hovers somewhere in that Collins / Gabriel style, with an occasional
foray into Led Zeppelin territory. It's expressive, but doesn't seem as inspired
as the instrumentals. Many sections, and three of the nine tracks, are
all-instrumental which is clearly the band's forte � with sound songwriting,
melodic instrumentals that run from a pleasing mid-pace to thick walls of sound,
and catchy melodies. Many sections feature solid guitar and piano work, but most
of the music is driven by the up-tempo, jazzy bass. Standout piece "The Battle"
is a ten-minute instrumental that runs through several well-managed tempo
shifts.
If your preferences are for instrumentals in this genre,
programming your system to play tracks 3, 7 and 9 back-to-back will provide a
rewarding 21-or-so minutes.
Fear Of Flying has opened for Asia � among others � and they've
played big arenas in their home-state of New York. And judging by the energy and
the enthusiastic performances, they probably put on a very entertaining live
show.
