Об исполнителе (группе)

The genesis of the band was Jos Uffing responding to an ad from Brian de Graeve in 2001. Brian was looking for a drummer singer for his band. By the time Jos called though, the band had already broken up. But during the phone call, they found that they had a shared taste related to music. So they kept in touch , working on their own songs sharing them with each other from time to time.
By 2004, they came to a point where they felt they were ready to get a band going to complete their songs. Brian quickly filled out the group using his connections in the local music scene. Bass guitar player GJ Bloemink; keyboardist Toine van Riesewijk and guitar player Henny van Veenendaal joined the band. Though the group the songs were coming together very well, Toine Henny would soon leave due to personal reasons. Henny would stay on to do the artwork for their CDs. A new ad finally got their newest member - Erik Laan. He would replace Henny on keyboards.
Through 2005, the band rehearsed in Brian's studio, with recording starting in 2006. Their debut A Maze was put out in 2007 as a self-release, and Silhouette began playing gigs in their home country. Come 2009, the band would release their sophomore album - Moods though the swedish label Progress Records. It showed Silhouette coming into its' own, and with the mixing mastering done by Knight Area's Gerben Klazinga, it also brought a more polished professional sound to the group's songs.

Об альбоме (сборнике)

Silhouette is a dutch neo prog band with two album under the belt so far. This is their debute from 2007 named A maze. The music offered by this band on their first album is neo prog in vein of US or Haze, little to mid tempo , but for sure enjoyble. Also the album has some good synth solo and guitar arrangements interplayed with a good voice of Brian de Graeve. All the pieces stands as good, maybe in places the sound overall is little dated, a thing that was improved in the next release. The album is balanced and has a good production and for a debute album is quite prommising, but is more to work to become something for a real intrest in neo prog genre. This will hopefully be shown with the imminent release of the second album, much better and more intristing. 3 stars is best I can gibe to A maze.
