4 stars tRKproject is the group of Ryszard Kramarski, keyboardist of Millenium, fantastic composer, releasing here his 5th album, debuted in 2010; a two-voice side-project for vocals, using great musical tracks and avowed reminiscences of Pink Floyd, Camel, enjoyable Marillion-style solos, prog and melodrama! 4 sequels taken from 4 cult books by W. Golding, F. Kafka and G. Orwell with a close or very close link to current events; the title in my opinion refers to its last cover with its tears. Note the help from Marcin from Moonrise, Grzegorz from Loonypark and Krzysztof from Millenium.

"Lord Of The Flies" intro à la Pink Floyd, I let you find with waves and lamenting guitar! Karolina has a voice to melt, a tune already heard on the last one with a country connotation! Flute, symphonic air, pompous acoustics, synths do you want a lot! an oriental voice followed by the dreamlike solo of the guitar, final more latent with male voice yes, final heavy tribal air coming from a desert island before the waves pick up again to leave; the major title of the album. "The Trial" with a helicopter synth to take off directly and a monolithic syncopated air; nervous guitar break then it starts again on the air à la Pendragon, 2nd more Génésisien station wagon and brilliant spleen guitar; the extension is more varied, rock, more worked, complex to define, a plus. The finale looks to the end of 'The Wall' genre The Trial 'with the roaring guitars, also Fly to the Rainbow'; resumption of the chorus. Progressive title with energy to spare, spleen and explosive. "Nineteen Eighty-Four" with a heavy, imposing bass, calmer air, guitar with Rothery spleen assured, good 1984 has passed for a long time and we are worse in terms of freedoms, depressive title. Fortunately keyboards that Wright would have loved to hear put on a bit of happy notes; Big Brother is no longer scary, hold a magnificent violent Floydian riff just before setting off again in musical limbo, on that heady sound of 'The Wall', in Ryszard's own head. Or how to go ten minutes without realizing it.

"Animal Farm" for a melodic prog rock tune at the start, a 4-minute break that calls out to you, but yes it seems?, voice that screams to avoid the sirens, the Floydian guitar solo that tears the spider's web from my musical salon, the voice à la Waters, the keyboard à la Barclay James Harvest which calms the game, a last enjoyable solo to continue to glide, to avoid descending on this arid land, well we go to the male voice sequence and there you will decide which CD carries you the most.

tRKproject releases catchy melodies in a musical dreamlike maelstrom; an album that looks like the previous one but giving more intensity through the many innovative breaks and winking on dinosaurs, those we still dream of but don't listen to enough; a sound on the edge of old and new, of art music in its fullness whether you are Jekyll or Hyde, Yin & Yang, Karolina or David. Double CD release of the album
