Interpose+ - Interpose+ (2005)

Interpose+ (2005) is the self-titled second studio album by the Japanese progressive rock band Interpose+, released by Musea Parallele / Musea Records in 2005.

The album is in the best traditions of the classical Japanese symphonic prog school of the 1980s and 1990s (in the spirit of Gerard, Ars Nova, Magdalena, and Pageant). The music is characterized by powerful, technical keyboard parts (Hammond, Mellotron, analog synthesizers), a heavy guitar section, a complex rhythmic structure, and dramatic female vocals in Japanese.

The band originally formed under the name Interpose in the late 1990s, but after a lineup change and the addition of flautist Kazuhiro Miyatake, the "+" sign was added to the title. The album combines poignant melodies with virtuoso instrumental duels of flute, guitar, and keyboards.
