Kayak – Nightvision (2001) (@256)
28 Aug 2008
(Review from amazon)
Nightvision is Kayak’s second studio album after the reunion, and the first to feature Bert Heerink on the vocals and Rob Vunderink on the guitars. These to new guys really added a new sound to this Kayak-album.
Ton and Pim’s musical talent with Irene Linders’ lyrics are just as strong as any past project. “Night Vision” has definitely been pumped with a lot of musical energy, with great guitar work from the dueling Robs, ever brilliant keyboarding from Ton Scherpenzeel and the addition of strings and awesome brass on a few of the tracks.
Highlights include the opening is an 8-minute plus epic about Icarus; beautiful, and Heerink sings it very emotionally. ‘Miracle Man’ gets you going with a fast tempo. ‘Water For Guns’ and ‘How’ are classic Kayak. ‘Carry On Boy’ is a great ballad.
It may take time for long time Kayak fans to get used to a new vocalist. In spite of the absence of Max Werner’s haunting vocals, the blending harmonies are pretty nice.

- Ton Scherpenzeel / keyboards, accordeon, vocals
