Three and a halve stars, but I'm a bit unsure wether it's going to be rounded up or down. Almost the only one featuring some fluting, which was one of the attractions of the band previously. I just love this one. Supersister's heydays are past history and this Iskander is by far their most experimental work so far. Some killer drum work during the final minute.

Supersister's heydays are past history and this Iskander is by far their most experimental work so far. I never knew Alexander did drugs!! Sax follows and it's dissonant. I have never been a deep fan of avant-garde or experimental music. The brief intro is a supegsister statement of what is going on: It is a pity that the ultra- neutoric sax solo should be so short, since it reallly creates an amazing climax while it lasts.

Obviously, the musicianship is excellent. I do supersistwr think so. This will perhaps never be my favorite Supersister album, but it's still recommended to fans of Canterbury, classic fusion and rare progressive rock. Eastern sounding which is appropriateheavy and fitting the theme.
Vocals too and this sounds amazing! Almost the only one featuring some fluting, which was one of the attractions of the band previously.

But there are reasons one might disagree with this view. The feel of the music is definitely not in the same vein as "Judy Goes on Holiday" or "A Girl Named You," and there superister be a touch of misplaced pompousness in the conceptual aspect of the album, but it features some very good progressive rock with hints of mid-period Soft Machine Mariano 's soprano sax can't help but evoke Elton Dean.
In werd Iskander opnieuw uitgegeven, door Esoteric Recordings. But there's still more. There's this cool rhythm with electric piano and horns.

If I listen to any of the tracks I do not know why my complaints arise but when I listen to the album in it's entirity it is like eating ones way through a buffet. The composition is fine, though a big more aggresion would not have hurt. First of all, only Stips and bassist Ron VanEck remain of the original lineup.
Even less when iskande consists of an epic story about "Alexander The Great". This thankfully short track is not only too loud; it's simply sticking out like a sore thumb from the rest of the album.

Geen afbeelding lokaal en geen op Wikidata. So, being a fan of prog I do love the idea of concept albums. I dived into this album with every fibre of my inner being highly strung in anticipation.

The music played here is rather difficult to swallow. Electric piano joins in too.
The last two minutes are symptoms of pure jazz-prog superdister in a most orchestrated fashion. A happy synth then an "eastern" clarinet marching to war open up the 7-minutes Alexander track, but the whole things gets a bit blurry once the slow sax almost stops the tune, leaving the electric rekindle the flame, until an organ comes in to an almost ELP fashion, but the tracks veers dissonant for a while?
Iskandera loose concept album about Alexander the Great Iskander is his Turkish nameis often described as being more in the jazz-rock vein, but listening to Stips ' choice of keyboard sounds and multi-tracked arrangements, one thinks of Triumvirat 's Spartacus which it actually predates.
The following two tracks slow iskanser a bit in order to deliver a more gracious mood: You must be a iskanderr member to post a review, please register here if you are not. The resulting dive wasn't exactly what I had hoped for.
