MAGDALENA

Magdalena is a band from Japan whoplaying symphonic prog with female voice. The voice is Megumi Tokuhisa, the one that we all see on later releases from Teru's Symphonia, from Egg the univers from 1988 'till the last one from 1997 Do android dream of electric camel. Some guest on this self titled album like:Hiroko Nagai from Pageant voice on track 3 and 5, Kazue Akao from Terra Rosa voice on track 3 and Kazuhiro Miyatake flute. So the music is very symphonic with lots of great orchestrations and is sung in japanese. The voice of Megumi is sometimes very melancolic like on Waltz and Anna Magdalena or is a bit rough like on Shadow a rockier piece but still symphonic prog. All in all not much to add just a good album not something special, but worth listen at least one. Magdalena is considered among the best bands from Japan who presents symphonic mellow songs with lots of emotions. 3 stars
