AKKO - Symphonic Prog

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   AKKO (Antony Kalugin`s Kinematics Orchestra) is a side project created by ANTONY KALUGIN in 2013. ANTONY KALUGIN is a multi-talented musician and composer from Ukraine. ANTONY KALUGIN is widely known as the brainchild behind projects such as KARFAGEN, SUNCHILD, HOGGWASH, and AKKO. The only consistent band member is ANTONY KALUGIN who plays keys, programming, and vox. This is project can be described as Art Rock meets New Age with some comparisons to Camel. 

AKKO has at this point only released two albums. These albums include AKKO 1 and AKKO 2. However, AKKO 2 is only available in physical form on KARFAGEN - The Key to Perception (Deluxe Edition). Both of these albums received generally positive reviews. Both being praised for their originality in the prog sphere. Overall, I would recommend this project for fans of ANTONY KALUGIN or his various projects. Nevertheless, most fans of prog should get some enjoyment out of it.

Releases - AKKO 1 & AKKO 2

	^ This project is his solo ones so two albums of Akko should be added in Antony's page, I consider.

	Both of these albums have a different sound and style. Not to mention he lists them differently on his websites.

	Lots of artists with various styles and textures are here of course. And Antony himself is in Symph already. No more addition of himself needed.
