Editorial Reviews
Product Description
ISOPODA was often considered as Belgium Seventies best Progressive band. It plays a superb sophisticated and melodious Progressive rock, based upon the combinations between vovals, guitar, keyboards and flute. Working such as a goldsmith, ISOPODA composes pieces with a rare perfection, which could equal to the best GENESIS, enhanced by somptuous vocals and arrangements. This CD includes a bonus track which was not on the 1977 original version. On this album issued in 1981, this Belgian band performed an elegant Progressive with elaborated arrangements. They played refined melodies with wonderful vocals, nice flute & guitar parts. The GENESIS and Alan PARSONS' references are obvious: liking for velvet and refined melodies, which thanks to their fluidity, delicate accoustic parts and beauty, seduce the auditor.

3 out of 5 stars Not Their Best.......2003-03-07

This 1979 release by Isopoda shows them moving in a more AOR direction. As with alot of 70's progressive bands the later part of the decade was not kind. The songs are shorter, the melodies simpler and the lyrics more mundane. I would recommend their earlier release Acrostichon over Taking Root. That being said it's still better than Asia.
