MAGNIFIED AS GIANTS

If you were amazed by Wobbler' Dwelers of the Deep and you have been looking for something remotely similar to satisfy your apetite, then Magnified as giants is going to be your unexpected gift of the year. At least for me, it has really been a surprise, and a great one! Caligonaut is the project by Ole Michael Bjørndal, who is supported by musicians from other well known bands such as Wobbler and Airbag (in fact, 3/5 of Wobbler appear here). The music is symphonic prog with a strong 70's flavour and few modern twists scattered here and there. My favourite track is Emperor, as it feels like a continuation from Wobbler's Morte Macabre:

1. Emperor (9/10) 2. Hushed (8/10) 3. Magnified As Giants (8/10) 4. Lighter Than Air (8.5/10)

Four solid stars for me, especially recommended if you are a symphonic prog lover.
