about
The French instrumental progressive fusion quartet PRIAM was founded out of the ashes of the late-eighties progressive rock group ARLEQUIN. Their music is complex with busy interaction between players. PRIAM is one of the most adventurous groups of recent years, with a very virtuoso guitarist (Chris CASAGRANDE) and a rhythmic section very well structured and versatile, involved softly in keyboards that invite you to wonder. His influences are exceedingly diverse, ranging from classical giants like BACH to prog rock luminaries YES, ANGLAGARD and MAGMA to fusion pioneers MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA. PRIAM'S debut CD "Three Distances... Irregular Signs" were a strong debut that promised a lot for the future. Now the future is here and the band have developed even further on their second CD "Diffraction". Their new album includes an adventurous mix of diverse musical elements such as classical, jazz-rock, ethnic influences, and a well hung dose of retro space prog. They've also got a whole bunch of guest musicians on sax, clarinet, electric violin etc. PRIAM has once again made an album with originality, quality compositions and complexity. Probably one of the most interesting bands from France today. Highly recommended! User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
