Syndone – Kāma Sūtra (Manticore, 2021)
Italian band Syndone has released some excellent keyboard-fueled concept albums in the past that fell under the category of progressive rock. “Kāma Sūtra” is the latest concept album, based on the ancient erotic book.
Although Syndone still delivers fantastic keyboard work inspired by Keith Emerson and the Canterbury bands, the Syndone ventures out of progressive rock into rhythm and blues. Queen-style vocals and hard rock.
The band is led by keyboard maestro Nik Comoglio. Previous albums include Spleen (1990), Inca (1992), Melapesante (2010), La Bella è la Bestia (2012), Odysséas (2014), Eros & Thanatos (2016) and Mysoginia (2018).
