Trace - Trace (1974) (Netherlands) Symphonic Prog

Junte uns músicos geniais numa atmosfera dinâmica, o resultado disso? Trace! Um certo ar de... Vamos nessa, que é bom a bessa! Grande banda! Grande álbum! Sensacional! Temas super interessantes, elaborados. Você senta pra ouvir e precisa ouvir de novo, e a cada audição um novo elemento surge.

Rick van der Linden tocou em muitas bandas e ficou impressionado com Brian Auger e Keith Emerson. Rick ganhou projeção mundial com a 'fórmula classic-rock' do Ekseption mas ele queria a sua própria banda. Fundou o TRACE com o baixista Jaap van Eik e o baterista Pierre van der Linden, um verdadeiro supergrupo holandês! Agora, ele tem a oportunidade de trabalhar suas próprias ideias com predominância dos teclados.

Em 74 TRACE lançou seu álbum de estréia, este que publico hoje, na minha humilde opinião todos os álbuns do Trace são fantásticos.
