Despite the fact that this music isn't of a high complexity, it's far beyond the interests of the fans of Neo, including the most adventurous of them.
While most of the lovers of Classic Progressive Rock (notice that I didn't say Metal) should be very pleased with "Absolute Presence".

Forever Twelve is a very strong classic-style prog group.
It's a shame that "Spark of Light" is their most recent release.

The band's musical output can best be described as Progressive Rock, or - to be specific -Art-Rock with a special attention towards the narrative elements.
The Band's aim is to present a story with their music, which means that the music itself is written to fit the intentional narration.

Highly recommended for any person interested in high quality music and great performance !

Artist: Arkus
Album: 1914
Country: Netherlands
Genre: Neo-Prog, Progressive Rock
Year: 1981 (1993)
Time: 52:21
Format: MP3 320 kbps
Size: 107 Mb (+3%)

"1914" dates from 1981 and is a concept album based on a poem of Bert Voeten.
The music of Arkus is guitar oriented.
The music is dreamy, melodious and at times strongly emotional.
The melodies are strong, the singing not accentless, but fits with the music.
Still a nice album with references to Camel and Eloy.

Masterpiece uniquely !
