RPWL - Trying to kiss the sun

Trying to kiss the sun, by  RPWL

The introduction to the first track on this album (the title track) reminds me strongly of Kula Shaker's opening track on Peasants Pigs and Astronauts, but it isn't long before it bursts into a powerful and rocky song which sets the style for this album. RPWL's last release God Has Failed was very much Pink Floyd, and the depressive side of Pink Floyd at that, but this album proves that the band has now established its own identity and no way can it be called a cover band any more.

All of the material sounds very bright and fresh but doesn't place itself in any musical era. There are some brilliant tracks here, You is my personal favourite, bit there are many other contenders. Wonderful harmonies, brilliant electric guitar, powerful songs - you can't go wrong. You'll play this CD to death!
