Haken - Aquarius

Really looking forward to this one......heard them live with Bigelf at the Barfly in London. Great show from both bands.
 
Loved the description of HAKEN's album AQUARIUS - on LASER's EDGE twitter - a a sonic beast.............seen HAKEN live at lots of shows and this, I venture to agree, will turn out to be a very apt description.

This is a great track - amazing - I know all their earlier stuff and this is pure HAKEN taken to the next level - energy, quirkiness, technically brilliant, so exciting to listen to. HAKEN songs have a structure - this one is a journey from the lyrical intro to those awesome passages where the guitarists interweave with the keys - pure insane pleasure - on to the dramatic ending. Mixed and mastered really well - good dynamics. Really looking forward to the 30th. Congratulations to all concerned in the band, with the recording, mixing and mastering and those involved with getting this album out.
 
Great show opening for Diablo Swing Orchestra - HAKEN were on fire, great sound, a crowd of enthusiastic people turned up, specifically to see HAKEN, despite the early start and a real buzz after the set - STREAMS - ETERNAL RAIN - CELESTIAL ELIXIR, during which the jazz band section was played live by the Haken Horns, who burst on to the stage bang on cue, played brilliantly and disappeared - pure HAKEN. Here they are warming up back stage. :loco:
