W GALERII CZASU

Dare it be said again, the Poles have another major recommendation to add to their already prestigious Prog history., an talented quintet that creates breathtaking music in the usual grand style one associates with this storied land. This debut album is a concept based on the magical mystery tour of an enchanted mythical museum and the silent beauty emanating from the canvases. Sung entirely in Polish (no, its not that harsh at all) , the music flows gingerly in melodyland, with synths gone beserk, muscular yet defined rythms, immediately grabbing the jugulararrangements and unpredictable soundscapes. In the true progressive tradition, themes return with added gusto, fiery instrumental passages conspire with passionate vocals. The overall impression is one of smooth confidence, never a hint of tedium, delivering highly original material that deserves lofty praise. As far as concept albums go, this CD is a fine testament that would make Chopin proud. The softer track 5 is a defining moment that is achingly beautiful. Grab a chilled vodka (polish, of course), sit back and enjoy . 4 Dalis
