Introspection

by Residuos Mentales

supported by

Nickie Harte Kelly This duo from Greece present a superb piece of chamber progressive rock, with strong cinematic tones, and some nods to Grecian music. It’s a concept story, following the tortured memories of a man during a twelve hour period. Pianos, synthesizers, guitars, flute, and violin provide the soundtrack to the storyline, which perfectly captures the feeling of this man’s melancholy interior life. Favorite track: Narrative.

The perfect album to put on after a busy day at work, or when you just want to relax. On top of my list of most played albums in 2019, and also so far in 2020.

Introspection is a nearly 38-minute track in 11+1 sections (if you take a closer look at the cover of the album where the twelve hours of a clock feature…) that tells the story of a man who is tortured by memories of the past. The inner voices are let loose (Pandora’s Box). The rainy day exacerbates the gloominess (Alienated) and the character spins a vinyl. “With the right music, you either forget everything or you remember everything” they say and the case is that memories come in torrents (Immersed). Οld, nagging recollections (The Thorn in Me) resurface and finally the character is sucked by a whirlpool, recounting their life (My Stories). The optimistic prospect (A Prospect of a Blooming Life), the feeling like “coming home” (Home) is gradually replaced by vague, forgotten, yet ever-present memories of loss and disappointment that get clearer and clearer in their head (It All Becomes Clear) and recounting these stories (Narrative) brings our character to their limit (On the Borderline) who makes a promise to set everything right but “you can’t escape the past, no matter how much you want to” and the mental residuals in their head prevent them from keeping their promise (A Promise Unkept/Mental Residuals).

In “My Stories”, the center-piece of “Introspection”, feature lines from the movie “The Words”.

The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis. Carsten Pieper
