[center]Finally George is a project by Hamburg-based multi-instrumentalist, composer and session musician Georg Hahn. After several years in the industry, he decided to set up his own project in 2015, which resulted in the first album "Life Is A Killer" in 2018. Showered with praise, comparisons with Steven Wilson or Pink Floyd were always present. These are not necessarily the worst references, but they also set the bar high for a new album.

But Hahn can absolutely live up to the claim, his claim, and has once again released an album that "poaches" in exactly these realms. But "Icy Skies" is not to be understood as a copy or something like that, but much more as a bow to the genius of the musicians. This time, too, he has brought in support, but has also contributed bass, violin, guitar, keyboards and percussion in addition to the vocals. The most important guest is probably Todd Sucherman, who otherwise does his work for Styx and was already part of Finally George's debut. Sucherman himself talks down his contribution: "George's material is harmonically and rhythmically very rich, a dream for every drummer," he says, "Every song is like its own little film. To paraphrase my drummer colleague Dave Mattacks, with music this good, your job is really just not to break it." George, of course, denies this and puts it into perspective: "Todd doesn't just play the tracks in, like you might do as a session musician. He gives an incredible amount of input, suggests things and puts thought into them. Icy Skies wouldn't be what it is without him." With a great sense of harmony and melody, the songs are a little quieter and more deliberate this time around, but no less exciting because of it. Even if the first listening impression may convey otherwise at first, one should not lose sight of the album and treat it to several run-throughs. With every new spin, new impressions open up, the songs develop into real little masterpieces.
