Review

Dutch Trio (Keyboards, bass & drums) led by ex-EKSEPTION keyboards player Rick Van Der LINDEN, TRACE was considered as the most famous super-group of its country. Its music includes virtuoso, researched, complicated, ever evolving themes, full of breaks and instrumental developments where the keyboards player could show his talent on Hammond organ, synthezisers, harpsichord, piano and Mellotron. By the profusion of its themes and the numerous melodies which compose it, TRACE's music is close to EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER and YES. The eponymous album reissue includes some bonus tracks. The second album "Birds" (1975) was Golden record at that time. Before founding EKSEPTION and creating classical rock, Rick VAN DER LINDEN offers the expression from his art where his typically Seventies analog keyboards sounds are pure jewels in fantastic instrumental developments close to THE NICE or EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER. Englishman Ian MOSLEY (Future MARILLION drummer) appears here, as well as CURVED AIR's Darryl WAY's violin on one track. Not to be missed !
