PENTAGRAM ~ LIVE 2005 OSAKA VITAL 008 ~ JAPAN ~ Jazz-Rock Fusion Recorded: 2005 Released: 2007 1st album by Japanese Prog / Fusion instrumental quartet PentagramFind albums by this artist recorded live and intended as a demo of their abilities rather than a full-fledged release. Led by guitarist Tsutomu TamuraFind albums by this artist (who also wrote all the music), with keyboardist Kozo TsujiFind albums by this artist, bassist Takashi MoritaFind albums by this artist and drummer Satoshi IzutaniFind albums by this artist, the band plays around the guitarist, who is the main soloist. The music is pretty standard Fusion material, with shifting tempi and perhaps a bit to complex, sometimes losing focus. But overall there are plenty of interesting moments and the band members certainly have the potential to develop into a serious Fusion act, given the opportunity and time. Fusion fans, who are always looking for new material, should give this one a listen.
