THE SPAGHETTI EPIC 3 - THE GREAT SILENCE

The third installment in Colossus Projects Spaghetti Epic series is yet another fascinating number in the series; continuing the high quality that is the trademark of most anything where Finnish Colossus Magazine is involved.

Littl Tragedies gets the honours of opening this album, and serve up on of the absolutely best compositions to tbe featured in this series. Organs, synths and keyboards dominate in a symphonic celebration covering most aspects of what's good in this stylistic expression - the 19 minutes this one lasts is a pure pleasure from start to finish.

Romanian/Hungarian outfit Yesterday is next, contributing with a track containing many intriguing parts, including a neat folk-tinged passage, but ultimately this one is too broken up to work as a whole.

N.O.T. finish this venture with an epic track that should intrigue most everyone fond of the particular Italian-styled symphonic rock. A tad patchy in places; but quite a few truly astounding passages makes up for most of this.

A strong release overall, where the opening number is a reason good enough to investigate this production.
