Barbarians Donuts (SI Music 1994)

   

   Londoners Progressive Rock unit which cannot be more brilliant for just reconsidering for copied the essence influences off the Prog-legends like Yes or Pink Floyd but Citizen Cain had their own times and era where Prog-Rock didn’t quite catching too much attentions during the beginning of the nineties as Alternative Music struck the nerves of most audiences to finding fresher sounds and simplicity but (again) still – these UK Prog-Rockers with the line-up of Cyrus busy doing the vocals and flute while others like Andy Gilmour handling bass as well as guitarist Alistair MacGregor and Nick Arkless guarding the rhythms section with his variety drum beats. Releasing the band’s second full recording – Somewhere But Yesterday sounded like a nostalgic sessions with only quite few tracks on it and many sub-titles of a golden path like concept which systematically providing the imaginable spaces for the fanatic listeners who loved Prog-Rock originalities. From Jonny had Another Face or (Parallel Lines) to (Beyond The Boundaries) or more aesthetic figures of solid progressions of sound on (I) Owls, (III) The Ballad of Creepy John and (The Mother’s Shroud) might be giving a non-actual themes and complicated kinds of musical arts to shared but this is the presentation from the leaking tubes of Prog-Rock scene that rare at the moment of the awakening on new class of music and the comeback of Punk Rock leaving Citizen Cain to playing on their own imagination places where the creatures are strange and the landscape looks magical but unfortunately, the world seems didn’t like them much at that certain hours.
