Haken - L-1VE (Dolby 5.1)

[César]

Hey,
I've just seen in Burningshed's newsletter that next Haken's live record will include a 5.1 Dolby mix on 2 DVDs.
Before everyone gets started with the Dolby thing, I have to admit I've never listened to this band but I'm tempted to support by buying this album. Anyone is familiar with them?

Only know they excist, but that is not much help ?

Their album The Mountain will appeal to lots of prog fans...has some passages that reminded me of Gentle Giant, and it's an absorbing listen. Check it out! Their more recent album, Affinity, went in a much different musical direction, and didn't stick with me, but has it's fans... less of a classical prog sound than The Mountain.

If you look up the YouTube videos of Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater) and his birthday bash from Cruise to the Edge 2017, you will see the guys from Haken providing a majority of the musicianship as well as some of the vocal duties.
