Album: Siren Song (1995)
Genre: Prog Rock (Jazz/Eclectic/Crossover) / Belgium
TIDELINE's music fuses elements of jazz, folk, pop, with hints of classicism that culminates in their original and unique sound of Jazzy Chamber Rock. The line up consists of Hadi Al Gammal (lead vocals, 12 string acoustic), Christian Gilbert (drums), Didier De Roos (keyboards, acoustic guitar, background vocals) and Sam Mackinney (basses). It is hard to draw any direct comparisons to the band; you can see touches of TERRACED GARDEN and even parts of MACHIAVEL, another Belgium group. Throughout their long career they only released two albums. "The Crowed Room" (79) was their first. The sound is driven by the ever-present 12 string guitar and multilayered keyboards; boasting simple but colourful arrangements with English lyrics. The fragile vocals at times can give hint of Greg Lake. In short this is an outstanding album. It was to be another 16 years until their next album "Siren Songs" (1995) was to come out. It followed in similar footsteps to "The Crowed Room". This album was performed by a duet, along side a large line-up (Clarinet, Flute, Saxophone, Trumpet, Flugelhorn, and Violin). In total, sixteen musicians played on the album, including Daniel Denis (Univers Zero). Their short songs are fully of complexity, with strong touches of warmth and melody. (Prog Archives).
