4 stars The origins of GRATTO date back to 1996 when he was working with 'LEGER DE MAIN' (Chris and Brett Rodler). According to the story of this recording it was a lost tape and abandoned recording which has remained hidden on some dusty shelf for 6 years and has finally make the way to my CD player. "Anakin Tumnus" contains 3 long pieces each possessing a towering sound and wide range of sound dynamics, each showing the intricate song writing and instrumental prowess of these talented musicians. GRATTO's vocals are sung in a quieter stealth like mode but resound with wonderful contrast to the sharper instrument sounds. In some ways his lyrics and voice carry a slight symmetry to those of MARILLION's FISH. Without a question this band played with an intensity and musical likeness that reminds me very much of ANEKDOTEN, ECHOLYN and even KING CRIMSON. An excellent swing my friends and I would definitely recommend this recording to all lovers of progressive rock.
