The Seventh Season - Fall Within

Posted Image

An interesting one, The Seventh Season were formed in Moscow in 1972, but after a 20 year break, and a move of continent, now consist of Yuri Batygin and his son Konstantin. Theirs is an odd mix of folk, classic rock, prog, and new wave, sometimes in English, sometimes in Russian, veering wildly across genres with nary a backward glance.

As is inevitable with something so eclectic, you're areas of enjoyment will vary with the styles, so the more traditional classic rock tracks get my vote with 'Commando' and 'Army Of Reason' scoring highest.

The folk rock meld of 'So Insane' is also wel conceived and performed, crossing over into an almost electronic folk blend, but 'Pirate Song' is the out and out winner, one track where all their influences converge into a new fluidity.

There is a lull in the middle of the album as neither 'Desire' nor 'Drag Me' manage to lift themselves out of the ordinary, but this is an admirable project, and one to be commended.
