The band's story began 1973 as PROSPER I with heavy line-up changes. Jurgen Pluta (keys) was a co-founder but soon went to WALLENSTEIN to play the bass. PROSPER's sound is a typical mix of different styles. Jazz rock respectively Fusion are having a dominant role but there are also psychedelic parts to point out.

...it is clear that his inspiration has come from numerous symphonic prog rock bands since the 60s/70s and there are notable references to early GENESIS, YES, CAMEL and even a touch of PINK FLOYD thrown in for good measure.

Guitarist Olivier Vaysse performs strongly as well with many good solos and soaring guitars in the vein of MARILLION and PINK FLOYD.
The story flows nice and easy and anyone into French language should get into the release even easier.
This is very strong and satisfying progressive rock for both fans of its symphonic and neo genre.

Recommended !

Like the great majority of Steven's creation in general, this album is a conceptual thing, even though without lyrics. 50 minutes of monolith music, melodic and yet surprisingly diverse throughout the album.
Recommended if you like simple, smooth melodic prog like CAMEL, BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST and ODYSSICE.
