CONCERTO GROSSO PER I NEW TROLLS

I started to listen to this album some weeks ago with the view to review it here. That was my aim. What I found was an album I which I find almost impossible to understand. It goes from very aggressive Heavy Prog to pastorial classical music. The contrasts in the music are huge. Absolute huge. And this album leaves me speachless. Almost, that is.

The music is dominated by flute, classical accoustic instruments, keyboards and electric guitars. The vocals are all excellent, ranging from pastorial choirs to screaming aggro vocals. The constrasts is huge. More than I am able to swallow. The quality is pretty good though. There is some really good stuff here. This is a very innovative piece of music and well ahead of it's time. It is also a fascinating piece of music which I guess I will be listening to in the coming decades. I am still a bit baffled though, but also intrigued. This is a good album.

3.5 stars
