Recollection Harvest Revivew

Reviewer: Glenn Astarita
Each newly released CD by Djam Karet, one of the finest bands in the progressive rock business, divulges variable shades of
consistency. Known for its use of synths, blistering guitars, and ambient-electronic exercises, the band seldom fails to delight. The
approach taken here is segmented into two parts (stylizations): melodic rock, with climactically oriented movements; and ambient
acoustic/electronic tone poems. Spanning a few decades, this well-studied unit has absorbed the finer elements of the ‘70s
progressive scene, while progressively carving out a niche of its own. It’s not as thrusting and fiery as the outfit’s previous two
releases, but it’s just another glimpse of how the musicians artfully navigate a potpourri of rock-related genres.
