In addition, Endless Skies is just unusual when we come to think the year it was released and might sound dated to a handful of listeners. Nevertheless, some may find the band too much focused on their influences even though I assure you that Ashbury have done a really good job of wearing them on their sleeve. There are additional links in the sidebar on the right.
The rest of the album consists more or less of well crafted tracks with a number of hooks and immaculate melodies. Ive been playing Endless Sky for the last two of three hours (building the master branch on Mageia 5, Linux 64bit), and I must say Im impressed. Songs like the instrumental ”Twilight” or “No Mourning” impress with their beauty, while “Vengeance” and “Endless Skies” help to create an epic atmosphere such as the one depicted on the album’s cover art. There are various acoustic passages that might remind Jethro Tull to some which is always a plus. Most tracks are mid tempo while the lyrics deal with fantasy themes, giving the album a magical/mystical feeling. From the very first track of the album, one feels drawn to the beautiful guitar harmonies, the captivating leads and soft vocal lines.
It is a free, open-source game that is available on GitHub and on Steam. The game is currently being developed by Michael Zahniser and the community. The beginning of the ‘80s and more specifically 1983 was a year for NWOBHM and thrash metal not a hard rock album with progressive tendencies.Įndless Skies sounds like a cross between Wishbone Ash’s Argus with southern rock tendencies ala-The Allman Brothers and a scent of epicness the same way Rainbow did in the past. Endless Sky is a top-down space exploration game, inspired by Escape Velocity. Searching for the reasons why this album is so obscure is probably a futile exercise but to begin with, it was released during the wrong era. But it’s bitter because someone talented enough to create really good music didn’t manage to reach a wider audience due to a number of reasons.Īshbury’s debut is exactly that case of an album where it should have been much more popular because its musical content is too good to go unnoticed. On the one hand, it’s sweet because there’s something out there that has been flying under the radar for a long time and you finally found it, which often creates an emotional bond. It’s such a bittersweet feeling when you discover an obscure album from a forgotten band. Review Summary: Obscure hard rock with progressive tendencies, southern rock flavor and a strong scent of epicness. I am making ships from Endless Sky, and would also like to see your versions of them.
