Desde Galicia, Amoeba Split nos traen su tercer trabajo "Quiet Euphoria", sus referencias en el Canterbury nos recuerdan a bandas como Soft Machine, National Health y Weather Report. Dos teclados e instrumentos de viento le dan un contenido exuberante, tenemos la delicadeza y onirica "No Time for Lullabies" o la interacción de saxo y flauta de la potente canterburiana "Thrown to the Lions", la aflamencada e intensa " The Inner Driving Force" y, como no, la que abre su disco y da título al álbum "Quiet Euphoria", compleja, inquietante y enardecedora del jazz-prog rock setentero.

From Galicia, Amoeba Split bring us their third work "Quiet Euphoria". Their Canterbury references remind us of bands like Soft Machine, National Health and Weather Report. Two keyboards and wind instruments give it an exuberant content. We have the delicate and oneiric "No Time for Lullabies" or the interaction between sax and flute in the powerful Canterbury "Thrown to the Lions", the flamenc-ish and intense "The Inner Driving Force" and of course the one that opens their album and gives title to it "Quiet Euphoria", complex, disturbing and enrapturing of seventies jazz-prog rock.
