| Rezension |
Bei PRIME MOVER geben Einflüsse aus trockenem Progrock und soften 70ies Hardrock den Ton an. Die Kompositionen sind stimmig, sehr angenehm und eingängig, jedoch auch so komplexx, daß sie nicht langweilig werden. PRIME MOVER ins Neoprog.-Lager zu stecken ist daher genauso falsch, wie sie ins klassische Proglager zu stecken. Die Jungs scheinen einen Narren an dezent vertrackten Rhythmen, klaren Guitarsounds und spacigen Keyboardeffekten gefressen zu haben. Die Musik ist jederzeit in Bewegung, der Bass flitzt gewitzt über die TOnleitern, die Drums sind sowohl straight als auch verzwickt, der Gesang variiert ebenfalls, wie aus den Albumhighlights The agenda for instant truth, Never like it seems, Sunrise again, dem schnellen Laughable und dem ska-beeinflussten See it for yourself deutlich wird. Den Vogel schiessen die Knaben allerdings mit The experience ab, denn dieses Quasi-Instrumental ist einfach weltoffen und durchgeknallt. EInziger kleiner Wermutstropfen ist der GEsangsstil, der sich einige Male zu oft im Sprechton verliert, anstatt auf Melodien zu setzen und noch nicht ausdruckstark genug daherkommt.
| Fazit |
Eine tolle Newcomerband, nach der sich diverse Proglabels die Finger lecken sollten.

| Summary |
PRIME MOVER is a new and young progrock band from Finland. "Put in perspective" is their first official release, 2 years before ago they have recorded a 40 minute demo called "Mr Zingelmann".
The music of PRIME MOVER can best be described as sophisticated rock with dominating influences from progressive rock and soft 70ies hardrock. The compositions are hooky and very comfortable, but too complex
to be boring. This is not "default"-progrock and not neoprog either. PRIME MOVER seem to love entertaining rhythms, clean guitar tunes and of course the effects
of keyboards (that mainly come in spacy and neoprogressive sound). The music is always moving ... the bass is poundering around, the drums are straight and also complex, the vocal arrangments are changing quite often and
the band even finds time for some quite complex technical parts just in order to return to the main song theme. The sound of this production sounds more like a
demo but the quality of the compositions and the technical ability of the band members is so good, that I can recommend this band to any label which is looking
for a new signing. PRIME MOVER perfectly sound like a mixture of SYMMETRY, PORCUPINE TREE, ELOY, TWIN AGE, neoprog, 70ies soft hardrock and a little bit of charming psychrock.
Highlights of this album are The agenda for instant truth, Never like it seems, the nice and varied Sunrise, again, the fast Laughable, the great and freakin' See it for yourself (with funny ska influences !!). This band offers fresh and unusual progressive rock ... and after you have listened to The experience it is clear, that PRIME MOVER really mad ... this (primarily instrumental) track is freakin' the hell out of your open minds.
The only thing that I did not like was the style of the vocals ... often they were more spoken than sung and they are not varied, not powerful and not impressive enough ... but anyway this newcomer band is a HOT recommendation !
