Chris – City Of Light (2012)
On this, his 3rd solo album, we again meet a different side of the highly talented multi instrumentalist, vocalist and composer Christiaan Bruin. On his debut album he, in a proggified way, he leaned influences from 60's with the most obvious being The Beatles and The Beach Boys. On the follow-up, Making Sense, we got much more of 70's Genesis and 80's IQ into the mix and now, with the new one we get a contemporary post prog sounding album (with a slight Genesis feel to it here and there). But...whatever style he fronts it has a distinct "Chris style" regarding the sound and compositions.

„City Of Lights", das dritte CHRIS-Album, suhlt sich regelrecht in synthetischen Klängen und überdimensionalem Bombast. Dabei bietet das Konzept des Albums so viele Möglichkeiten, einen warmen Sound zu schaffen. Es geht um die Suche nach dem „versprochenen Land", in dem Gefühle und Schönheit und Wärme wichtiger sind als ...
