Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) This is neo prog of the most pleasant kind. Prog purists might want to criticize that "AmuZeum" includes noticeable AOR traits in their songs. As far as I'm concerned, I don't consider AOR a condemnable thing. I go for good melodies, nice chord progressions, and structural concepts in prog songs, and this album has plenty of that. By the way, I was pleased to find multi-instrumentalist Mark Wickliffe of "Ten Jinn" in the lineup! Favorite track: Naysayer.

Vladimir Gribanov Received and immediately listened to this CD. Friends this is cool, wonderful, great. Very melodic, beautiful harmonies. At times, I could hear the notes of the band I adored "Yes". I wish you every success and look forward to your new recordings

about

AmuZeum came to be in the year of 2018
What they would create remained to be seen
Rehearsals began, creativity flowed
And now “New Beginnings” is available for download

Based in Los Angeles California, all five members had crossed paths many times through the years playing in different bands like Mars Hollow, Ten Jinn, Gabble Ratchet, and Heliopolis. All of which had various degrees of success.

While the foundation of the music is based on progressive rock, each member brings a unique style, a vast array of influences and skillful songwriting chops.

Masterful sonic landscapes, interwoven melodies, soaring harmonies, dynamic rhythms, and insightful moving lyrics all combine to create a tapestry to engage the listener and compel them to embark on a journey ……..destination unknown !!
