Album Description

Are you ready for a trip into the thrilling world of emotions? Join us for a roller coaster ride through the fascinating fantasies embroidered in Burning Banners. CROMWELL - this is more than just the name of a person in the English history - it's a concept of five musicians, chosen to illustrate their deepest thoughts and courageous musical ideas. Probably quite unexpected, this neo-progressive outfit is not of British origin but has been founded in Worms / Germany four years ago.

An Epic Experience.......2000-11-19

This cd by Cromwell is amazing except for one thing--the vocals. You'll hear great "Asia-like" guitar work from Thor Stone and incredible keyboards. The keyboard work is at times "atmospheric" and complements Thor's guitar work. At other times it takes on more of a lead role. The lyrics are interesting hinting at epic themes. Now back to the vocals. I have no idea why the band chose a female vocalist unless it's because she may be the brother of the keyboardist (same last names--Taeffener). Anyway, the vocals perhaps should have been from a male (no sexism intended). With an album of this sort the female vocals felt out of place. Additionally, the vocals are actually poor for the first vocal track. Admittedly, the vocals improve progressively throughout the cd. Same for the keys. They just get better and more complex throughout the cd. Bottom line, if you love keyboards and good guitar work this is a fine progressive cd. Maybe the vocals will grow on you.
