Serene ~ Germany


Serene. 1981 Lava

Serene's sole album is a type of straightforward rock with light prog embellishments. Typical of the time and place, Serene's album is littered with heavily accented English vocals, when German would have probably suited better. There's some nice Hammond organ work here that contains a wide open and spacious sound. I hear late 70s Novalis as an obvious influence with some nods to Eloy's lesser progressive efforts. A harmless 40 minutes, but not disturbing.

Priority: none
