A Child in the Mirror is an absolutely outstanding debut for this band from Athens, Greece. Don’t be fooled by the fact that they’re on the AltrOck label, which usually specializes in more RIO-styled bands. Ciccada sounds like a mixture of Jethro Tull and Gentle Giant with a bit of Hatfield and the North and Renaissance thrown in (mostly due to Evangelia Kozoni‘s Gaskin/Haslam styled vocals, but also musically). If I hadn’t already read about them before, I would have sworn this must be an English band just judging from their sound. My favorite features are the Tullish flute passages (and even guitar stylings) and organ solos that sound like “Apocalypse in 9/8″ performed by Dave Stewart. Completely riveting.
