TESSERACT ~ TESSERACT
NOT ON LABEL ~ USA ~ Progressive Rock

Recorded: 1996 - 1997 Released: 1997

1st album by obscure US Prog quintet TesseractFind albums by this artist, which presents quite an ambitious, almost totally instrumental set of compositions, heavily influenced by Gentle GiantFind albums by this artist and Classical Music, sort of GG goes Baroque. The front instrument is the violin, played by obviously classically trained Karen BentleyFind albums by this artist, with keyboardists and the band´s main composer Don TillmanFind albums by this artist supplying all most of the melody lines using an array of instruments, including the Mellotron. The only non-original piece on the album is the band´s adaptation of a BachFind albums by this artist composition, which suits the bill. As nothing was heard from the band in over a decade now, this might be their only recording, but it is a little gem that well deserves to be remembered. The more classically inclined Prog lovers will definitely enjoy this album very much, as well as all GG aficionados. Recommended!
