Colin Edwin-PVZ 2012

Alt proiect al unui membru Porcupine Tree, bassistul Colin Edwin, al doilea lui album solo. Sursa de inspiratie a fost, din cate inteleg, volumul “Opium and Other Stories”, al scriitorului maghiar Geza Csath, aparut in anii '20 ai secolului trecut. Albumul e unul de disecat, nu spune tot la prima auditie, zic eu. Ce e sigur e ca bass-ul lui Edwin suna, ca de obicei, bine de tot.






Songs:
1 Opium
2 Filled With Colour
3 Endless Ascent
4 Arms of Sunlight
5 Interlude
6 A Dream Forgotten
7 The Surgeon
8 Vicious Circles
9 Empty Yourself
10 Frozen Hours
11 The Final Scene
Mai jos, o piesa de pe albumul de debut al lui Colin Edwin.
