CD REVIEW: PROGRESSIVE WORLDS by Green Desert Tree




PROGRESSIVE WORLDS by Green Desert Tree
(Clostridiumrecords)

Berlin based prog rockers Green Desert Tree are truly an amazing band for this time and space - unafraid to mix heavy and ethereal to create musical masterworks that harken back to the early and mid-'70's when it was acceptable for rock bands to include mellow material without being pummeled with rotten produce. This is the fault of the music industry's penchant for extreme categorization that restricts creativity and promotes blandness on a major scale. Green Desert Tree are here to change that with their amazing debut release, 'Progressive Worlds'. Comprised of, Timo Enders on vocals and guitar, Tim Sund on keyboards and synthesizers, Simon Rainer on guitar,  Alex Will on bass and Jonathan Gradmannn drums. The band presents an exciting, multi-layered and multifaceted conceptual piece that simmers, burns and caresses, while leaving you wanting more. Providing a musical excellence, and creating a kind of ethereal atmosphere ; will take one on  a wonderful trip full of sounds and lyrical content without sounding forced or rushed. These talented musicians are nuanced, they explode where necessary but they can also play with the most exquisite precision and delicacy where the song demands it. Album highlights include, the epic ,"Progressive Worlds", "Cure For Change", "The Beast Of Prey" and "Devil in Disguise". Green Desert Tree definitely sets a new prog-rock standard with, 'Progressive Worlds', a beyond brilliant progressive rock recording that perfectly combines elements of Genesis, Marillion, Porcupine Tree, Saga and Yes.  I highly recommend them to anyone with an interest in progressive rock or to the merely musically adventurous. - Tony @ The Dedicated Rocker Society
