When the Beatles (‘The Canyon Hill’), Pink Floyd and, especially, Yes would have decided to work together in 2014 you would get “Perfect Beings” as a result. This is an album where a song can start in a folk/ singer songwriter traditional (hello, Simon and Garfunkel) but end in an experimental part with strange drums, a trippy guitar and voice (’Walkabout’).
Although the sound of PERFECT BEINGS is typically progressive rock we all know and love, the band isn’t falling in the trap of overcharging themselves in long and rudderless songs. Most of them clock around the five minutes mark.
The band around Chris Tristram (Slash/ Marjorie Fair) doesn’t need extensive songs to show how good they are. Musically it sounds perfectly in balance and the song writing is truly superb. All songs have resourceful tempo breaks without losing the soul of the complete song. The only exception to the rule is the quiet, but lovely, ballad ’Remnants Of Shields’. The mix between guitar, keyboard/ organ, bass, drums and the clean singing voice fits perfectly as well. “Perfect Beings” is a glorious trip back into the seventies with the modern knowledge and possibilities of today.

This album isn’t about bashing religion and faith. That would be a pretty cheap trick.

We were able to secure the support slot for Front 242. Everything was looking positive until Bas’s cancer reemerged and there were complications.
