5.0 out of 5 stars Hauntingly Beautiful, 13 Jul 2007

By	Dr. Robert Fisher (Oxford, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm a recent convert to Sylvan - a 5 piece German band based in Hamburg and often described as belonging to the 'prog rock', 'neo prog rock' or 'symphonic prog rock' genre. I prefer the latter; thematically the album is wide-ranging, dealing with the crucial human themes of life, love, death and anguish whilst musically balancing moving vocals with intricate keyboard and guitar work.

It is a blend that is unique in the sound it creates; grand sweeping melodies supported with solid supporting keyboards and off-set with some amazing bass work and detailed drumming. Presets tackles the grand themes of human life - it draws you in, the lyrics weaving a spell in contrast with the harmonies, standing in contrast to discordant guitars. There is no escaping the power and impetus of the band nor the sheer sensitvity of the song writing. There is pain here; deep seated, heart felt pain - for humans, for the world, for the way we treat each other. Yet there is also hope: touching, illuminating, always sultry but never overwhelming.

The album was written at the same time as the 2006 album 'Posthumous Silence'; to my mind, they belong together and perhaps should have been released as a double cd set. Posthumous Silence is completed by Presets and in some ways, brings the story full circle. Echoes of Marillion, IQ, Riverside, a smattering of Coldplay and even a Camel riff - the music is a superb balance of technique, creativity and power. This repays careful listening time and time again. It hasn't been off my cd player for months now. Kick back, absorb and enjoy; the themes and the songs simply won't leave you alone for some time afterwards. Highly recommended.
