ULTRANOVA
Crossover Prog • Brazil
From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

A Brazilian rock project ULTRANOVA have been founded in 2012 by four promising musicians - Thiago ALBUQUERQUE (piano, synthesizers), Daniel LEITE (guitars), Príamo BRANDÃO (bass), and Henrique PENNA (drums, percussion) - through the idea to create their identifical music style without departing from the style of British progressive vanguards like ELP, King Crimson, Yes, or Pink Floyd. They've gigged on stages at events / festivals with renowned Brazilian artists, and soon some of their material's been on air. ULTRANOVA have made a contract with a Rio-based record company Rock Symphony and in 2017 released their debut album titled "Orion", that has been launched in Europe or worldwide via Musea Records.

In my book Ultranova is so far an emerging band, one that probably will have more of a niche appeal as far as this debut album is concerned, but still with a couple of nice gems to discover. My presumption is that those with a general fascination for instrumental progressive rock and a particular fascination for the likes of both Camel and King Crimson will be the ones most easily fascinated by this production, so if you feel you belong in this category this is one more album to add to your list of music that merits a check at some point.

This is instrumental progressive rock, with a great deal of interplay between Thiago and Daniel. Starting with a number that is almost ten minutes in length is brave for anyone, especially if they are an instrumental act, but I found that I was soon intrigued in what was going on, as the interaction between guitar and keyboards is interesting. There are times when they do let everything slow down somewhat, and if ever there was a risk of the listener's attention wandering then it is during these periods, but when they keep things at a slightly higher tempo they are exciting and vibrant. There is just one number where it all falls apart, and that is 'Salinas' where for some reason the guys move in to slow Seventies-style fusion of the type that can only ever be background noise. But, thankfully it is just the one song and the title track, which is more than thirteen minutes in length., more than makes up for it.
I will be interested to see what happens with the band from here on in, as being picked up for distribution by Musea should see them gaining a lot of publicity. I would certainly like to hear more
