AUGUST IN THE URALS

The five tracks on their first release is steeped in the symphonic prog traditions of yesteryear; but although a multitude of sounds and instrument utilizations are familiar sounding and even pretty easily placable in terms of where you've heard similar outings previously; there's nothing even remotely derivative about these ventures into a vintage sounding symphonic territory.

Indeed, these jazz and classical tinged compositions are immensely detailed, with plentiful of sonic textures and a myriad of subtle elements changing, evolving, subdued, added and drawn away faster than you're able to note them down.

Energetic themes in mellow segments and majestic moods created by subtle effects are the rule rather than the exception, and dominant sounds are toned down rather than up - with an excellent production that despite coming across as somewhat subdued really manages to brig forth all details you'd like and a few more.

A delightful creation, well worth checking out if elaborate, adventurous symphonic prog is to your liking.
