MOONSHINE

1. Heroes Cry ... ah the slap I received listening to this intro! everything was there, the synth which could be hardy and melodic afterwards, the suave voice of Robert, the heavy, imposing bass, Mirek who shows the extent of his knowledge, in short, a title to listen to until the end of the night, prog and who cares if it's neo, melodo or sympho... prog with twirling keyboards, fresh, a major title I even say 30 later; well I listened to it again and again, on my old speakers (from the time when we had speakers and a room to listen to... vulgurus JM-Lab 705 and some vintage cabasses that are doing their job, ah yes a bit of Davis as fluid for the return to Quinquophony!!! yes I prefer the 5 points listening that's how it is, I feel less alone), in short this title is the best and I am weighing my words! 2. In Your Eyes in sequence there you say to yourself but where are we going to go? sympho So come on I say, harmonic, the voice frail, vibrant; the piano which raises the spirits a little, a mandolin or almost, a bucolic ballad that suits me; it starts on MARILLION and more airy, the electronic drums tense me up, the flight of synth pads reassures me, oh there there are how many synths, it squirts everywhere, excellent; well Mirek gets started, more intimate, more spleen, more airy ah I don't know anymore, it's too intense, too beautiful too, complex and whirling, easily assimilated and full of tunes, like 2 notes of GENESIS there, that don't stop I tell you; good 14 minutes fô not laugh with that either; the finish feels coming, a violet marshmallow sweetness that melts in the sun; flute and military battery at GENESIS still as if they had remained 5! The 2nd finale returns to dark MARILLION of incommunicado 3. Lovely Day .. goes on, back to a country piano, a flute, it's really a happy day; title in the same plot, short that can be drunk like a refreshing soda, watch out for the final wood-piano arpeggio that hammers you quickly erased by the soft synth and 4. Living in the Moonlight ... yes you understood the 4th track which follows, prog stronger it doesn't exist; Robert forward with his voice that prints the melody; a title more important than it seems to feast even more intense moments of previous music; the more solemn keyboard, the battery that prints and leaves the guard present; time to announce 5. The Blues with this new rave intro, majestic, symphonic, grandiloquent and enormous, simply enormous; come on, it calms down the time to prove that Wojtek imposes it too; an intoxicating melody of fact; the finale rediscovers the power of the great titles...the dissected one and the next 2 to come; go a salvo of synths with declination of guitar sounds ès maestro and the real finale on a solo of BANKS if I .. hear it, Krzysztof is a real virtuoso too, it blows up everywhere 6. Wings in the Night arrives, soft, it changes, it leaves calmly, the time to settle in well; after that it starts everywhere, in bursts, much more complex than one might think at first sight; Robert launches his voice to the firmament, makes bursts shine in the sky, the musicians show an incredible and absolute mastery; the end, what an end, successions of devastating, melodic, catchy synth solos, almost too much!! fortunately a little flute to calm it all down... before 7. Moonshine and the second master-piece with an overly exceptional intro; the superlative has its place here, pompous, majestic, symphonic, sharp, hard, yes hard metalprog I'm inventing so much the intro is orgasmic... who hasn't listened before his 50s hasn't really not listen to prog!!! at 1/3 we have a yessian arpeggio à la HOWE, also too much criticized for his decadent age, for his eyeglasses not photogenic enough, for his white hair, but who is the one who criticizes a PROG spawn, DINO PROG and more ? In short, the synths, the drums, the bass, the voice, the guitar, the rhythm, the advance and the crescendo... everything is perfect; melody level, we are on eggplant with a candied orange coulis; a little Anjou here without moderation flowing all alone in this heat of early June, yes I'm giving benchmarks for my next publication; well we are already attacking the end and I forgot to dissect, but what is this chro which is not one.... a keyboard à la BANKS again, yes we are of course prog just; Krzysztof's soaring notes with his Kurzweil K2000 does the job; go for some martial, gentle drumming to pick yourself up after this epic moment. 8. War Is Over and the intro which looks towards a GENESIS album, bucolic and in line with Charisma with its famous rabbit; Robert uses his voice to echo the rhythm of this nursery rhyme, it's rocking and dynamic at the same time; guitar à la 'battle for evermore' and it starts again with the keyboard, the keyboards in an explosive way... War is over he tells us the Robert if only, a festive Irish, Andalusian, oriental, Breton break ..; of the time when the peoples could live together without tearing each other too much... the diatonic accordion we are very close to Brittany, St-Malo perhaps to leave for another destination?

Good COLLAGE, one of the albums to have on your I-Pod to listen to on your desert island, otherwise it's useless.
