Great, nice with very much dinamic lines..

Congratulations XANG.
Good sound, great performers nice dinamic imaginative variations at some songs. A little Jazzier Guitar Rock mixed and synth´s leading at almost all this CD, a MUST HAVE.
No doubt about this Progressive. (sorry about my english ;-)

I had heard a lot about XANG in discussions on Internet before I
got the album. All the rumours had been unanimous that this is a
great album, and all I can do is join them in their praise. XANG
have made their exit from the old Millennium in a worthy way.
Eight tracks of total instrumental perfection! Recommended!

A very interesting debut of a very interesting band
author: Acid Attack
With this quite promising debut release "Destiny of a Dream", Xang presents itself as a new, hungry young band from France with many fresh, unused ideas in their music and a dizzy musical potential. Their music, somewhere between classic Prog, Neo-Prog, Jazz- Rock and Power-Rock (sometimes even quite heavy) is hard to categorize, perhaps because Xang escapes consciously to any musical cliches, they just play, what they want, what they feel to play. And it is this bandwidth that makes their music so interesting: instrumental music, yes - but never ever boring, tediously. Their music, conceptually set up very well, leaves enough spaces for the listener, suggests with the title "Destiny of a Dream" only the main goal: a dream. The rest is all up to you. Xang revives the instrumental tradition in rock/ prog and it seems to me that these young, fresh french players put themselves in the very first row of this new wave of high-class instrumental music. A very interesting debut of a very interesting band on a new (and guess what: very interesting) new label Galileo Records.
