Akropolis - Half A Million Hours great cd, not so great cover

Pressing: Germany
Year: 1972
Genre: prog jazz
Packaging: cd

The material is some kind of Sympho Rock with strong AOR/Pomp Rock vibes and more discreet Fusion/Hard Rock underlines, split in an opening overture and five quite long movements with rich instrumental work in a pompous enviroment and early Eloy/Message-like rhythmic patterns.The symphonic parts are much in the vein of Yes, with some great, balanced keyboard work, acoustic breaks and even some interesting melodies. Vocal work is a over the top with a singer delivering a diverse performance.
