PREMIATA FORNERIA MARCONI, EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER, QUELLA VECCHIA LOCANDA, UK or KING CRIMSON ("Islands" era) influences can be heard but the group has created its own musical personality through these references. The musicians produce a masterwork full of nuances, elegance with a succession of splendid melodies. OUTER LIMITS has elaborated a extremely romantic Progressive rock music where Tomoki UENO's voice is not high-pitched as it is usual with Japanese bands and evokes that of Greg LAKE. "Misty Moon" (1985) is usually rated as the best Japanese Progressive rock album of the Eighties. Nothing more, nothing less... "The Scene Of Pale Blue" (1987) is a collection of epic tracks, all of them superb and dominated sometimes by the emphatic keyboards, a lyrical violin and a rageous Robert FRIPP-kind of guitar. Superb melodies, complex instrumentation and arrangements. Not to be missed !

日本的Prog 无甚新意也不好听 只能说是中规中矩
