Sylvan - Presets

The Butterfly Man · Mon, 2007-01-08, 14:38:42

Sylvan will release their new album 'Presets' on February 19. You can pre-order it directly from their shop on http://www.sylvan.de/shop. Previews are available as well:

There's even a full track on their MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/sylvanhome

Here's hoping it'll be as good (or perhaps even better?) as Posthumous Silence!

As will i.

Probably will order it through their own shop since the price will be reduced a bit.
It sounds really promising.

Yes and that's not the only advantage. It will be shipped three weeks before the release date, if you order before January 25th

Well, received it yesterday. Finally. Good album. The only albums i can compare it with are PS and AP (posthumous silence & artificial paradise) but since i hate comparing...i won't.
The opening track One Step Beyond, When The Leaves Fall Down and closing track Presets are my favourites for now. Some tracks are prog/sympho but overall it's, yes i know it's not the right word, is a bit mainstream.
A good follow up to Posthumous Silence.

Funny though. The last two albums i received are Pain Of Salvation's Scarsick and this one and both of them are indexed as Side A and Side B. Cool.

Haha I was thinking the exact same thing yesterday! But I'm glad you finally received your copy! We're getting treated to some good music lately, aren't we?

Indeed we are.

It's a good start of the year.

This thread deserves a little bump, and this album deserves some more discussion!

I got my copy mid-February, and I really fell in love with it instantly.
The mentioned "mainstream"-sound is probably because the band intentionally used some more simple song structures and stuff on this one.
Quite a contrast to Posthumous silence, but that only makes it more interesting, both albums are fantastic in different ways.
Highly recommended!

Absoutely. Sylvan are totally underrated and I don't understand why they are still mostly being handled as a sort of insider's tip...

You're right about that Peter. Sylvan is a very creative band and should be heard by a much larger crowd.
