Hailing from Barcelona, Abel is a seriously talented drummer and judging by this album an impressive songwriter. Lives up to the name Soundscapes. Ably (no pun intended) is assisted by guitarist Carles Salsa and a host of numerous musicians.  

I’m not sure how I’d really categorise this album, but this ‘Spanish progressive jazz-metal’ is a real treat for the ears. From the opening track ‘The Beginning of the End’. Swirling keyboards and Joe Satriani-esqe arpeggios accompanied with epic drums and bass. The band are super tight and the production is silky smooth.  

Although mostly instrumental there are plenty of surprises on the journey. The last track does contain vocals and is preceded by my favourite track ‘Maat-Cosmic Order’. The hard work and musicianship gone into this album is abundantly apparent… top quality. Metal Digest
