DRAMA is a current instrumental French band that comes from Rouen, fronted by guitarist-keyboardist Eric AZHAR. Recorded in 1996, its first eponymous album displays astounding musicianship as well as incredible virtuosity ! Very professional, these great musicians offer golden Progressive rock in the vein of MARILLION, GENESIS, YES or IQ. They even went beyond their neo Progressive and Seventies influences, in order to create a truly personal music. The very dynamic and melodic instrumental pieces are based on guitar-keyboards interplay with ambitious melodies and worked-out arrangements. "Flying Over The Twenty-First Century" (1998) includes four sung themes out of seven. This second album from 1998 was the occasion for the personnel to evolve slightly. Ethnic influences also accentuate the originality of the concept, as that can be heard in the great piece "Taj Mahal". Highly recommended !
