“Quia
Nesciunt Quid Faciunt” is the newest – 11th – full-length studio
Roz Vitalis album – and 3rd
album at Lizard Records – released
five and a half years after the band's most famous release – 10th
studio disc “The Hidden Man of the Heart” (2018) that is among TOP 10 Albums of 2018
at Prog Archives. “Quia Nesciunt Quid Faciunt” (“they know not what they do”
translated from Latin) consists of 10 tracks and lasts 54 minutes. The title of
the album was induced by tragic events of the latest years concerned with
military operations and violation of human rights in some regions of the world.
The concept of the album is adequately conveyed by its title, although almost
all the compositions were composed back in the late 2010s. Most of the tracks
were developed at the band’s concerts in 2018-2021, but additional recording,
mixing and mastering continued until 2023. Perhaps the album's message is
captured – in the best way – in track titled "The Man Whose Wings Were Cut
Off"; its slightly shorter version had been released as a single in 2020,
and this opus was never performed live. “Quia Nesciunt Quid Faciunt” differs from all other studio full-length albums by the very technical drum parts. This is the merit of drummer Evgeny Trefilov. He also acted as the author of two short works played on synthetic piano - "Fountain" and "Nocturne" - and as a sound engineer responsible for mixing and mastering. Unfortunately, he left the group shortly before the completion of the album. So this release is both the first and last full-length studio album of Roz Vitalis with the participation of Evgeny Trefilov. At the same time, the essential melodic lines are provided – as previously – mainly by keyboards, guitars, flute and trumpet. Another feature of the album is the extensive use of harpsichord. The style of "Quia Nesciunt Quid Faciunt" – like any other Roz Vitalis stuff – can be described as the "Unclassifiable Branch of Prog Rock". However, such tags as "Melodic Avant Rock", “Canterbury Gothic Prog” or "Between Sympho Prog and Avant Prog", are, perhaps, also partly relevant.

I've just listened to it and gave it a two star rating. Just about everything with this album is mediocre at best, at first listen. Will listen to it again in a few days, just in case I'm having a bad day  ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:
