IRRGARTEN - Crossover Prog • Canada

Irrgarten biography (http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=168)

Canadian band in the vein of early IQ, mixing the heavy GENESIS-like slant of that band with a somewhat CAMEL-esque softness that some fans will find very appealing. Imagine merging IQ's "The Wake" with MARILLION's "Misplaced Childhood" and CAMEL's "Moonmadness" and you get the idea. This band delivers a interesting blend of prog with guitar driven hard rock. Some additional instruments like flute, sax, cello among others give the music a special feel.
