LEAP DAY – From The Days Of Deucalion – Chapter 2

Czwarty album, a druga czesc koncepcyjnego wydawnictwa pomyslanego na dwie plyty, prog-rockowego zespolu holenderskiego, ale zlozonego z gwiazd progresywnej sceny europejskiej. Neo- i rerto progresywny album, inspirowany zarowno starymi prog-rockowymi gwiazdami jak Genesis, Yes czy Camel, ale takze nawiazujacy do wspolczesnych brzmien neo-progresywnych. Szczegolnie polecany dla fanow holenderskich grup takich jak Nice Beavier i Flamborough Head.
Ta płyta to kontynuacja tematow ze znakomitego poprzedniego kompaktu, swietny

progresywny rock jednak dla bardziej wyrobionych i wymagajacych sluchaczy.

Second part of the concepion album From The Days Of Deucalion of the Dutch progressive group LEAP DAY. The 4th CD of Leap Day is recommended for fans ELP, Yes, Genesis, Camel and neo-progressive rock like Trion, Flamborough Head.

Dutch outfit LEAP DAY was formed in 2008, but the events leading up to the band formation started a year earlier. Drummer Koen Roozen (Flamborough Head) had been looking for musicians with a desire to play symphonic rock to cooperate with, and in his search met keyboardist Derk Evert Waalkens (King Eider) who also were looking for like-minded musicians. Shortly after vocalist Jos Harteveld (Pink Floyd Project) joined this so far unnamed project. Koen and Derk then started discussing the possibilities of performing the King Eider material at Progfarm 2007. Guitarist Hans Gerritse (King Eider) liked this idea and hooked up for this project, along bassist Peter Stel (Nice Beaver). They needed another keyboard player for this gig though, and Gert van Engelenburg was asked to join.

Gerritse left after the Progfarm gig. The rest of the guys wanted to continue on though, and when guitarist Eddie Mulder (Trion, Pink Floyd Project, Flamborough Head) agreed to join, Leap Day was born.
