Albums Affini Logue (1999)

Press Reviews from Radio Xymphonia, Holland radio-xymphonia@cebe.demon.nl ...we've played two songs from Affini Logue in our program.... First "Horse And Carriage," the great finale of "The Isle Of Alms Suite", which is until this last part is quite relaxed, with - like the rest of the album - a lot of beautiful acoustic guitars. Then "The Path Yrbesque." We think the vocal melody is very strong and rich, just as it is in the other Ellsworth Hall composition, "Suitor In Black." Our overall opinion of the album is quite positive... Logos Affinity presents itself as a highly original band, that should have the chance to make an album for a big company within the progressive rock scene without losing their unique sound. As we said, we like the vocal parts a lot, together with the acoustic guitars that create a strange mixture with the electronic drums.
