Vanden Plas - AcCult 2 (CD)

VANDEN PLAS are the leading progressive rock and metal band in Germany for a long time. "AcCult 2", the second acoustic album of the five-piece around frontman Andy Kuntz follows "AcCult 1", which came out back in 1996. They are extremely good songwriters as tracks like "Far Off Grace", "The Ghost Experiment" or "Postcard To God" easily prove, even though the two covers "Boat On The River" (STYX) and "Nothing Else Matters" (METALLICA) are really well-crafted, too. John Helliwell (sax) of SUPERTRAMP guests on the closing track "You Fly" and adds some additional magic. Beautiful piece of music! (MS)
