Offering – Offering Part III-IV (1990) (@256)
27 Nov 2009
(Review from gnosis2000.net, progarchives.com)
Although this was released 4 years after the first Offering album, this Offering picks up right where that one left off, and is in many ways not much different at all.
Only three tracks here, the dominant one being the 44-minute “Another Day”. This is a song that was under development for quite some time — there are bootlegs way back from 1982 with a more concise 25 minute version of “Another Day”. It’s hard to swallow the start/ending theme. Once you get use to it, the song is genoius and funky in parts with some fine moments. The jazz element is stronger here, with Philippe Dardelle and Emmanuel Borghi performing on bass and piano.
After the glorious finale of “Another Day” we get a beautiful ballad in the same style as Lihns and La Dawotsin called “Eihn Deiss”.
The short reprise of the Offering theme closes the four editions of work.
