This Spanish formation was founded in the late Nineties
and in 2002 they released their debut album entitled Horizonte
De Sucesos. The it took five years until Neverness produced
a successor but if you listen to it, you can conclude that
the time was worth waiting, the band has made a huge progress,
what a wonderful and often exciting CD! - The sound of Neverness
has no obvious references, every track (between 5 and 13
minutes) on the album contains lots of flowing shifting
moods with many interesting musical ideas and a dynamic
rhythm-section. A very captivating element is the contrast
between the rock-oriented guitar work and the varied ‘vitnage
keyboard’ sound, from Mellotron and Moog synthesizer to
Fender Rhodes piano, Farfisa organ and Solina string-ensemble.
I was carried away during the strongly build-up and often
very compelling guitar soli like in Muro De Cristal - Maldita
Esperanza (from sensitive to fiery) and Sin Horizonte (long
and bluesy with great support on strings and organ). Other
great moments are the pyschedelic sounding intro during
Desde El Silencio (the guitar and organ sound evoke Pink
Floyd At Pompeii), the variety and wonderful vintage keyboards
(Mellotron, organ and piano) in Mi Mundo Al Reves and the
many goodmusical ideas in the captivating final song Mundo
De Locos (4 parts).
I am impressed by this second effort by this new Spanish
band, what a good musicians and what a wonderful and often
compelling compositions, a big hand for Neverness!
