70’s Progressive Rock and Modern Day Progressive Metal has a decent following in the land of the rising sun. It is only natural to expect some great music to follow. Yuka & Chronoship is just that.
The album is mostly instrumental which does not typically align with my default tastes but this album’s melodies and the song changes are done which such care that I really have no problem with this album being
instrumental.
This third album is a culmination of all their skills. Their song writing and playing are wonderful. The sci-fi subject matter is intriguing and most importantly their songs are enjoyable to listen to.
Notable Tracks: Stone Age, Galileo I & II, Birth of Earth Magma Ocean, E=C#M,Birth of the Earth – Embryonic Planet
