| Okay, just to
take this ahead. I'm not to keen about this progrock style. But this my
friends, has only got to do with personal flavour, not with the music
itselves, which is surely one of the most difficult one in Rock'nRoll.
Whehter it's up to the constan breaks or the melodies, which just don't
wanna stick in my ears. I can't tell you exactly. . But as a journalist,
you've got to be open for anything. And live on stage many acts and
music is often much different of what they are on CD. So I always take
the chance to convince myself about a band, who I've never seen live on
stage before. I don't have to tell insiders anything about Subsignal, the band who rose up from the ashes of Sieges Even, all around singer Arno Mensens and guitarist Markus Steffen And the follow up to Sieges Even can easily put up with the past.There is prove with the debut album 'Beautiful & Monstrous'. Our Backstage Club is surprisingly well filled with about 150 noses, which is maybe due to the local bonus of supportact Central Park, who are up to date again after many years of abstinence. And Central Park are the one's who are praying the intro heading for the slogan: Oldies but Goldies, including a new flagship named Janine Pusch.
And this paradise bird is very attractive, which ain't a disadvantage is it? Of Course a Rockband lives mainly from their music, but as we say so: the eyes wants to get satisfied as well. - Alright, back to the action, where the rhythm is defined by drummer Artur Silver, a true animal out of Munich's Rock'n'Roll scene, who does greet you personally from up there, when he knows you (hey mate, I buy you a beer next time) - Well, Central Park are probably most know to us elderly generation, who have experienced them already back in the Seventies, and who have come here tonight to convince ourselves of what is left from back then. Things haven't changed really and are still moving between a portion of ProgRock power, mixed with a hint of Classic Rock and a bit Krautrock.
Not
much stirred, but well shaked, this mixture is a delicate coctail with a
little extra spice, just like a Bloody Mary, or is rather a Volcano Flow?
Let's ask Janine, because this Lady is certainly responsible for it a
little bit for this last kick to your sense of taste.
Yeah
well, we won't over do it here. Maybe it's only out of the last edition
before this one. But this of course shall not be the focus, but more or
less what's underneath of it. And that one listens to the name Arno
Mensens. If there was still enough space at the Central Park slot, so
now the audiance has moved much closer to the stage, and the best places
have gone, just not to dismiss the very last desert flea, which gets
presented to us now - acousticall and visually. 'Beautiful &
Monstrous' is the slogan for tonight, and we get spoilt with many new
classic progressive sound cascades, which seem to tell us: hey, you
wanna hear us more often then just now, so off we go to the merch after
show to get yourself the debut as home edition for your private sessions.
At least for those, who don't own this piece of music.
Inbetween the hymns of the new Opus, you find some wellknown older songs, just like the ballad 'Eyes Wide Open' or the heavy 'Walking With Ghosts' and the Sieges Even Classic tune 'Tidal', just to name a few. Apart from that, just read the setlist below.
After
2 encores the magic is finished after a 2 hours intermezzo of
progressive soundstructures. Not bad at all, I'd say, and that' what
probably most of the audiance does feel within the small audiance. No
doubt, that Subsignal own a huge potential of talent and
knowledge. And for all friends of this stylistic, this concert has been
certainly a good night out. Everything else is, as I mentioned
before, a matter of taste, as well as a Sex On The Beach, a B52 or
rather a Tequilla Sunrise.....
