REMINISENT OF EARLY 70'S ELP, YES, GENESIS
Cairo hit the mark on this one. Their sound and compositions reminds me of ELP's Tarkus or Yes Close to the Edge. I have been a fan of progressive rock since the seventies. It is nice to hear that the genre has not gone out of style but is being re-energized by new, fresh, competent groups. Magna Carta, you have given me a reason to buy music again. Thank you, and Cairo, keep releasing quality material like Conflict and Dreams. Absolutely outstanding.

One of the best prog cd
Angels & Rage set the pace right from the first note. Lots of energy, this cd won't let you breathe until the very last note, with the exception of Images, a short piano/guitar duet.

Beautiful sounds, complex arrangements and great musicianship from these guys.

The best introduction to Cairo's music for me. Western Desert and Valley of the Shadows are pure gems!

Cairo's best prog rock
It's very strong album. The influences of this this group are evident. Robertson's briliant syntesizer - hammond - piano work reminds me maestros K.Emerson or R.Wakeman, he is the most important person of this music. Brockman's druming technique is influenced by rock drummers little such Mr. Neil Peart. Choruses of powerful singer sounds like Yes or Boston with Brad Delp - his voice is quite similiar. Fuhrman's almost only electric guitar (too much reminds me Michael Romeo) is very fast and powerful too, but it lacks something and it's overshadowed by Robertson. In added very solid bass line of Jamie Browne, the complex music of retro-sound (mainly of early ELP) with modern aspects is great. „Angels and Rage" has great chorus, orgasmic solos in the middle (Fuhrman at his best) and grandiose ending - cutted hammond with great drums. „Corridors" is great romantic colourful epic, „Western Desert" has lot of duels of keys and guitars, it little bit lacks an idea, the 17 min is so much, but it has also the greatest moments (why no more singing?).„Image" is short beautiful instrumental, „Then You Were Gone" has Dream Theaterish riffs like Under The Glass Moon. Maybe the most exellent is „Valley Of The Shadow", perfect tense vocal choruses and interplay, the soft melodic final passage. Highly recommended to prog rock fans who can take a few listenings.
