Kenso - Kenso III [1985]

Kenso is a progressive rock instrumental band from Japan.
This is Kenso's third album and maybe even better than the previous II. An amazing instrumental progressive rock album full of melodies and odd time signatures that never get to be that complex. Focusing mainly on the melodies and the great structure and not on improvisations and soloing is what makes this perfect. This is a MUST!

Studio Album, released in 1985
