2010 is long over, and I still have not heard an album that was better than Haken's Aquarius. Hailing from England and featuring two To-Mera members: Richard Henshall, who mostly plays the guitar but also keyboards like in his other band, and Tom MacLean playing the bass instead of guitar. There is also a guitar player from Linear Sphere, and all other members are involved only with Haken. Overall, the level of musicianship is outstanding. Read more ›› |

This album is quite a surprise. New bands often make the mistake of trying too hard to show the world how good they are, and to put so many ideas in the music that all coherence is lost. Haken has a lot of ideas and they know how to play their instruments, but they never show off too much and they managed to make the album sound as a coherent entity. Read more ›› |

You need to listen to this album at least 3-4 times before you realise how great it really is.

Written by BaneConall on 03.05.2011 at 19:23 That is true for most album IMO, and it might take even more times very often.

Written by K†ulu on 05.05.2011 at 13:26 Thats true. Most albums that I like on the first listen get boring too fast.

Great album full of great moments...Seventh Wonder's release beats it, but 2010 was great year for prog
