Forsaken Innocence

More adventurous and daring than anything Arena, IQ or Pendragon have done. Most like Magenta at its finest feisty moments. (Progarchives) One of the best albums of 2021 so far and in my opinion their best to date (Progarchives) Let's hope that this collaboration will continue, because the first outcome of it is simply wonderful! (Progarchives) Together with this current line-up, I am sure this will wind up at the very top of 2021's lists for most, if not all, prog aficionados out there. It is THAT good! (Progarchives) An excellent album for any prog lover to test out for themselves. (Progarchives) There are a number of very good Prog bands around at the moment but I have to say that Drifting Sun are making music that works on just about every level and of all I’ve heard this year ‘Forsaken Innocence’ is definitely the best of them. (music-news/UK) “Forsaken Innocence” is a merciless piece of art. (Progenrock/The Netherlands) If you don’t know Drifting Sun yet, it’s time to open the door to the magic with “Forsaken Innocence”, their latest masterpiece. (Rock at Night/USA) L'album de la consécration ultime, l'avenir nous le dira? Indispensable à mes yeux et à mes oreilles. (Profil Prog/Canada) When a new studio work by DRIFTING SUN is released, nothing more than a masterpiece can be expected in response to the immense advance praise, DRIFTING SUN present a 70-minute mammoth work. (Saitenkult/Germany) This is a giant of an album. (Background/The Netherlands) Cet album est bien sûr destiné à tous les progueux comme à tous les amateurs de belle musique où mélodie et technique font bon ménage. (Music in Belgium/Belgium) Overall Drifting Sun has created a very nice neo-progressive album, with great instrumental parts and a vocalist showing his best side. (Prog Space/USA) This album is as zesty a piece of neo-prog as you are likely to find. It is a monumental statement for Drifting Sun. The Spirit of Progressive Rock/UK) Drifting Sun nous balance, sans en avoir l’air, un grand album, peut-être même le meilleur de leur discographie, avec une production soignée et un sens de la composition qui fait mouche à tous les coups. « Forsaken Innocence » hisse le groupe au niveau des formations clés du paysage progressif! (ProgCritique/France) A massive progressive tour-de-force. (musicarockprogresivo/Spain) The whole band is in awesome form and the performances have a character of their own, without however overshadowing the compositions. (Progrocks/Greece) This new album is truly the pinnacle of their work so far. It’s an engaging, captivating and sensational listen every time you press play and is deservedly up there fighting for the honours of album of the year. (Progradar/UK) The strongest “Drifting Sun‘ album to date. When it comes to dynamic-melodic prog, they are pretty much the measure of all things at the moment. (Empire/Germany) Without a doubt “Forsaken Innocence” is the best album in their oeuvre. And perhaps, time will tell, a neoprog icon. (ProgWereld/The Netherlands) Beautiful compositions, warm atmospheres and exquisite chamber rock touches help to compose an aesthetically perfect album. (rocking/Greece) Drifting Sun parmi les grands, cette fois, j’en fais le pari! (Prog Censor/France) It just made it on my top-10-album-of-the-year-2021-list (despite fierce competition). (DPRP/The Netherlands) Forsaken Innocence is without a doubt the best Drifting Sun has ever made and is bursting with beautiful songs with everything a lover of well-made, well-played and well-sung prog rock could wish for. (Eriks Progtracks/The Netherlands) Forsaken Innocence sort Drifting Sun de l'ornière 'néo' où il a été confiné jusqu'ici. Sa musique est désormais plus grandiose, plus travaillée et plus diverse. (Dragon Jazz/France) Forsaken Innocence sees Drifting Sun at their very best. (Progarchy/USA) Jowitt, Sanders and guitarist Mathieu Spaeter are virtuoso players, but the emphasis is on songcraft over widdle, and Jargon brings personality and expression to this assured, polished prog record. (Prog Magazine/UK) Soyons clair: avec Forsaken Innocence Drifting Sun frappe un très grand coup (Big Bang/France) Une production aux petits oignons, dynamique et claire… le tout meilleur album de la formation et un des albums de l’année.
