An album which fuses the melodic sensibilities common of the RPI movement with a wild
lust for invention, and variously tempers its rage with gentle beds of flute, piano
and strings and focuses it into dissonant nightmare-scapes. The result is an
accomplished record which oscillates between the avant-garde and almost pastoral,
traditional folk songwriting and hardly approaches rock - if the drum track was
removed only trace elements of rock would remain.Although this record is justifiably listed under avant-garde - and is bookended by somewhat freeform and contrary excursions - there's enough neo-classical and lushly folky frills to please the symphonic fans too. Fans of Gramigna should enjoy Opus Avantra and vice versa.
