PTF - The World[s] (2018)

3rd studio album by this great prog/smyph/fusion band out of Japan. A Japanese symphonic jazz rock combo PTF (officially ptf, written in lower-case letters) were founded as a quartet by Keisuke TAKASHIMA (violin), Takeya KITO (keyboards), Hiroyuki ITO (bass), and Yusuke SEKI (drums) in 2009. Gained musical experience through lots of gigs mainly around Tokyo quite inspired by 70s progressive rock, jazz rock, and heavy metal scene (according to what Keisuke says), finally their debut album "percept from ..." was released in February 2013 via Musea Records. "What Is Constant" (Musea Parallèle, 2015) is the second album in the adventure of this Japanese band: without drastic changes in their style, the four musicians aim at polifshing their art even further.
