I don’t recall that there’s ever been another album or band that has been hyped and anticipated as much at least amongst the progressive rock circles. Wobbler not only lives up but surpasses that hype on their debut Hinterland. Laser’s Edge’s promotion on this really paid off and from what I read, the band was received rather well at NEARfest 2005. Wobbler’s sound recalls bands such as King Crimson, Genesis and Gentle Giant. They also are on par with some recent bands like Änglagård and White Willow. Call it prog, retro or whatever, just remember while the band isn’t treading new ground, it is giving the prog community a nice look back done by a modern band. Wobbler’s music also has a vintage feel to it, a warmness about it unlike some of the more modern mechanical sounding bands. Just like in the mainstream, even progressive rock tends to go back to it’s roots. This is a plus for some of us that weren’t around or aware of the originators of the genre. Hinterland is a 4 song album with three, count them, three epics. One of which is almost at the 30 minute mark. The shortest track is the first song, Serenade For 1652, which in my opinion could have been incorporated into the title track. The Hinterland song takes you on an aural journey with it’s melodic almost quiet spots to the thunderous parts that recall the Crimson comparison. The other two tracks are equally impressive. This is one of the very few albums I can listen to in one sitting. One thing I have to stress with Hinterland, don’t expect to hear something groundbreaking or high tech BUT do expect one hell of a fun listen again and again This is for fans of vintage symphonic rock. It really t doesn’t get much better than this folks. Believe me, I was a sceptic when I heard about all the hype. This is one of my favorites releases of 2005 and it gets a high recommendation for sure!

Fortunately, on Afterglow you can enjoy those ‘lost tracks’ that were re-recorded in 2007. Listen to Afterglow and you will understand why my friend was so positive about these compositions. Indeed, this mini-album that lasts barely 35 minutes is superior to Hinterland. What an exciting seventies symphonic rock oriented sound, especially the vintage keyboard sounds of the Hammond, the mellotron and the MiniMoog are mind-blowing! Afterglow contains only five songs of which three are rather short and mainly acoustical. Only halfway Armoury, the atmosphere changes to a bombastic sound with majestic church organ and fat MiniMoog synthesizer runs. The other two songs are epic compositions. Imperial Winter White, with echoes from Änglagård, has a mighty mellotron sound, a powerful Rickenbacker-bass and a second part with Damian Wilson-like vocals. In Taberna has a more Anekdoten-inspired sound with splendid bombastic eruptions, lots of dynamics and fiery electric guitar. This album is a perfect example of ‘quality prevails over quantity’. It reminds me of the albums of the classic Italian progressive rock bands from the seventies that last no longer than 33 minutes!

Wobbler is still a young band, however they sound like they were on the musical scene for ages, because of the outstanding compositions they create, along with the high-quality performance of the musicians. Now in this past 2011 they released “Rites at Dawn” which is their third studio album so far, and a musical piece that challenges the big names of progressive rock. This album consists of seven compositions that make a total time of 45 minutes, divided in two short pieces, three mid-length ones and two epics. The album opens with one of the short tracks. Almost two minutes in which “Lucid” shares a dreamy atmosphere. I imagine someone waking up, opening the eyes and see a new dawn. Later when everything is relaxed, a fast and busy day begins with “La Bealtaine”, where the already own Wobbler sound can be appreciated, with the great interaction between guitars and bass, accompanied by drums, voice and the prominent keyboards. Since this first longer song we can realize the complexity of their music, and the great musicianship of the members. I really love how they combine the instrumental passages with the vocal ones. Stunning! “In Orbit” is one of the epics, with twelve minutes of first-class music. It starts with acoustic guitar, accompanied by a wonderful bassoon (congrats for adding this instrument) which produces a beautiful yet somber sound. A minute later we will listen to a drastic change in which all the musicians create complex, bombastic and vertiginous music that give as a result a very interesting passage. Another drastic change comes when the previous passage vanishes and a delicate vocal sound appears for some seconds, preparing the scene for guess what, another vertiginous change. The keyboard work is awesome during the whole track and album; the bass creates great melodies that do not sound ordinary or plain, following that complex spirit that Wobbler offers since their first album. There will be a moment in which Yes will come to your mind, I assume that classic band influenced them in a way, but it is worth clarifying that Wobbler is never a copycat band, never. Just listen to this wonderful and original song, so you will appreciate their own style. “This Past Presence” has a mellow and pastoral sound at first. A laid back and peaceful sound where we can appreciate acoustic guitar, a delicate voice, flute and piano. But when you think the song will continue like this, it explodes all of a sudden creating that heavy symphonic tone they use to share. A series of mood and time changes will be found here, loyal at Wobbler’s style. “A Faerie’s Play” is like the second part of the previous track. The sound is pretty alike, with that lush mellotron accompanied by excellent guitar figures, the always imposing bass and of course, the top-notch drums. This song is simply amazing, it perfectly flows and offers us five minutes of pure heavy symphonic ala Wobbler prog. One of my favourite compositions! A new element is added in “The River”, given the exquisite saxophone they implemented since the very first seconds. A vertiginous sound is shared here for the first minute and a half; later it slows down and creates a calmer rhythm that reminds me of some 70s acts such as Pavlov’s Dog (the music, not the voice, of course). Once again, the band put several jigsaws that together form the puzzle, each and every of them are essential to the success of the song. As I mentioned earlier, I love how they decide in which moments the voice enters and in which doesn’t, always in the precise moment. Here after four minutes we will listen to the probably most Yes-like sound in the whole album; later it slows down again, sax and acoustic guitar play for some seconds just before the music explodes once again. This is another excellent composition (which isn’t?). Finally, this wonderful album finishes with “Lucid Dreams”, which is like the reprise of the first track, but this time with a glockenspiel playing. Now it is time to sleep, rest, relax and dream. Wobbler strikes again with “Rites at Dawn”, an album that symphonic rock fans should not miss, but that is highly recommendable to any progressive rock aficionados.

On “From Silence to Somewhere” Wobbler cooks an enigmatic, multi flavoured and adventurous brew in the olde black cauldron. Poignant and edgy guitar riffs, melancholic and harmonious verses, powerful crescendos, energetic spinet driven passages and the odd touch of flamenco and italian recitals. Four epic songs, clocking in at 47 minutes. Thematically spun around a wondering view on metamorphosis, change and alchymism – a bit of a continuation from the previous album “Rites at Dawn”, but slightly darker and more introspective.
Musically, there’s a connection to all of the three previous albums, while at the same time making new ground. Inspiration from renaissance music and old Italian prog has seeped into the mix, as well.
