BASIC COMMUNICATION REVIEWS

"SPACE ROCK"
It's been a good few years since the Xinema debut album, "Different Ways", an album largely built around reincarnations of songs they'd written over a decade before.

"HARMONIE MAGAZINE"
...et construit une musique plus personnelle que sur un premier album sympa mais un peu « Rushomaniaque ».

"PROGWALHALLA"
Een prettige CD die de liefhebbers van vooral neo-prog en gevarieerde melodieuze rock zal aanspr...

"PROGRESSOR.NET"
Thankfully, these are professional musicians, playing with ease and absolutely on a par with their teachers in absentia, otherwise I would never have been as guardedly positive as I am here...

"ARLEQUINS.IT"
Infine l’esperienza dei musicisti – in termini di tecnica - è sicuramente
un punto di forza del cd, insieme ad una buona, anche se essenziale,
produzione musicale. Da prendere se cercate nuove proposte nel
panorama prog e se non disdegnate ogni tanto un ascolto meno impegnativo.

"SENTINEL"
El mejor rock melódico con retazos de los grupos antes nombrados y con progresiones de cosecha propia, todo envuelto en una magnífica producción, elegante y sofisticada.

"iO PAGES # 69"
Maar de progger die voorbij het zeeronaantrekkelijke hoesje kijkt,
verwerft een uitermate prettig plaatje.

"BIG BANG MAGAZINE"
Malgré des influences nettement identifiables, tout en étant relativement diluées, Xinema possède une véritable personnalité...

"PROGWERELD"
Qua energie en dynamiek doet dit trio me wel aan Rush denken (periode "Hold Your Fire" / "Power Windows").

"METALUNIVERSE.NET"
Je recommande une écoute à tous les amateurs de rock progressif mélodique, vous ne serez pas déçus. Une belle petite trouvaille européenne de la part de Unicorn Records.

"PROGRESSIVE WAVES"
Nul doute que Xinema, avec un peu de maturité en plus, en fera très vite partie. A découvrir absolument !

"DPRP"
Xinema have been true to their word and come up with a strong release that takes on all of the strengths of the previous album, with the added bonus of a greater helping of progressive ideas...

"MANTICORNIO"
álbum que bien puede encajar dentro del subgénero Arte Rock,
sobre todo por sus melódicas formas y sus progresiones amablemente retorcidas. Las vocales son excelentes, la batería sólida y los solos
de guitarra intensos, combinándose muy bien.

"MOVIMENTIPROG"
Tre svedesi innamorati dei Rush...
Il secondo lavoro dei Xinema è un vero e proprio omaggio a "Power Windows" dei canadesi pluridecorati Rush...

"MUSIC IN BELGIUM"
L'évolution est indéniable. Leur rock progressif mélodique doit bien moins à Asia. D'autres influences tels Yes, Rush, Kansas, Jadis mais aussi Pendragon s'y mélangent pour donner un album plus personnel.

"PROGGNOSIS"
...and credit to the artists for following their instincts and aspirations instead of trying to recreate the past, it's definitely music for a new generation of music fans, progressive and non-progressive alike.

"GLORY DAZE"
The band return with their latest 'Basic Communication', and this time, they delve even deeper into the progressive world from whence they came...

"PROG-ROCK INFO"
Ich war ja schon vom Erstlingswerk der Schwedischen Band 'Xinema' mit Namen 'Different Ways' mehr als begeistert. Umso erfreuter war ich, als ein Päckchen mit dem Nachfolger 'Basic Communication' im Briefkasten lag...

"ANTITHETIC.free.fr"
Standing still at the crossroads of an energic progressive rock tinged with FM, the band's compositions get here a new dimension. Se situant toujours à la croisée des chemins avec un rock progressif énergique teinté de FM, les compositions du groupe prennent ici une nouvelle dimension.

"YTSEJAM"
Quite impressive when you think about a progressive rock band that is able to keep the music interesting throughout with melodies and songs that stay in focus rather than going into some tangent (uh…) of soundscape...

"STRUTTER MAGAZINE"
Basic communication’ is the 2nd CD of the Swedish band XINEMA.
They leaned towards AOR on their first record, but the new CD is
definitely more progrock related

"MISSING PIECE "
Long awaited follow up to Swedish Xinema's fine debut is finally here. And although the Rush influences that could be heard on the debut
have disappeared for a more neo-prog sound...
