This second album by Japanese band Concerto Moon is a bit of an improvement over their debut
FRAGMENTS OF THE MOON. It doesn't leap out immediately, but there are some solid songs, like "Surrender", "From Father To Son" and "Into The Fire", with some solid guitar riffing and understated keyboards. The lyrics aren't clear, since they're not printed, and I thought maybe vocalist Takao Ozaki could be singing them in Japanese, but patches of obviously English words, plus the face all the titles are in anglo saxon, suggest he, instead, has the worst diction since James Reyne#, although at least he has the excuse of not coming from a primarily English-speaking country.
With it's beautiful cover art,
From Father To Son might not stay in the mind for very long after playing it, but it's a reasonably enjoyable effort.
