JUMBO

An enthousiastic, optimistic symphonic album, full of fantasies and humor. The opening track is an energic, typical Grobschnitt´s Hymn with its captive melodies, stressed vocals, great organ-guitar solos, epic interludes. "The Clown" is a gorgeous, dymanic symphonic composition with constant changing moods and a lot of keyboards variations. The parodic side of the band is always really defined in a few sweety, soft melodies, crazy vocals and lyrics. A good mention to the technical guitar solo parts. "Dream and reality" is a pseudo-romantic, lovely ballad with a melancholic felt. The vocal are very lyrical, the organ and guitar duets punctuate the piece. Chorus and excentric vocals are added into the mix. The solo break put into the fore an epic, symphonic dialogue between synthesisers and organs, then emerges a captivating guitar melody."Sunny Sunday´s sunset" starts with a calm, mysterious keyboard soundscape and circular "clean" guitar apreggios. After a rapid progression the tune finally turns into a fantasy, "heroic" song with theatrical voices, epic keyboards and silent acoustic percussions. Seven minutes past and the track grows into a mellow, romantic ballad. The last track is an humorous, drunked narration. A difficult, complex album. In a minor way this is a classic. Beginners should start with the supreme "Solar Music" or "Ballermann" .
