 FLAMBOROUGH HEAD discography, MP3, videos and reviews
FLAMBOROUGH HEAD’s music is 24-carat symphonic rock, very melodic and has echoes from MARILLION, PENDRAGON and ARENA but the different musical backgrounds and personal taste from the members (from CAMEL and AOR to blues and rock) gives their music music an orginal twist.
In 2002 FLAMBOROUGH HEAD released their acclaimed new CD entitled "One For The Crow" with new members Margriet Boomsma (lead vocals, flute, tin whistle and recorders) and guitarplayer Eddie Mulder, they replaced André Cents and Siebe Rein Schaaf.
My conclusion is that FLAMBOROUGH HEAD prooves with their new CD that they have developped their own sound (a blend of classical, rock, folk, symphonic — and neo progrock) and that all those years of playing together has shaped them into good and creative musicians.
