Mastermind's third album named Tragic symphony from 1994. Well, this album is in a same vein with the
predecesor, no big improvements here, maybe is a little shorter only 6 pieces with a total of 48 minutes.
The music has the same characteristics as on Volume two - the previous one, the same ELP-ish keyboard
driven prog but also here and there with some guitars added. The voice is on some pieces as usual and
something new on this album is that exist as guest a bass player named Phil Antolino. So what to expect
if you want to listen to this band and specialy this album: ELP influences all over the music of Mastermind,
but not a copy/paste band of ELP and some symphonic elements combined with jazzy interplays, not
many but enough to catch the ears of the listner. So the best pieces are the last 3 pieces that makes the
story of Tragic symphony: Sea of tears, Nothing left to say and Into the void. So another good album of
Mastermind, but nothing special either, almost the same prog formula that ELP were doing 35 years
earlier, but as I said before not a bad album. 3 stars for Tragic symphony. Similar bands ELP, Cairo and
Monolith and maybe others.

athomospheres with a powerful ending. "Al
