Now, in my latest review of one of the latest albums (to date) of latest year, you can choose one of two options:

QUESTIONS 1)Do you like crazy music ? 2)Do you hate crazy music ?

ANSWERS 1)Let's prog, this is for you! 2)Well, what about to just survive this review and try it anyway ?

Because this is weird music. Note the word "weird", which somehow is synonymous (for me) with word avantgarde. Let it we weird then and jump into this review train.

Well, sometimes reminds me these radio dramatizations of novels, or TV-production, low budget plays, which I suppose is mostly caused (this feeling) by classical-like (it's not classical music) forced (it flows easily, don't worry) into more rock-friendly (so we have prog, not classical music) style, with many wind instruments - horn, oboe, clarinet etc. One of the more pleasant (the most ?) groups in this genre, they're not unfriendly at all. Their performance is absolutely pleasant (good one here, Univers Zero). When I saw this album, I almost misconfused this for one part of woman's body, but it's just sidenote, nothing more.

Needless to say that if considering this as classical prog music (sheesh), you can say (read: I can say) that it's not your normal classical music. New trends and styles has taken its toll (again, bad sounding word meant in a good way, don't worry), so you can taste these crazy tunes for example in Straight Edge. Because sometimes it tends to be symphonic-like, sometimes cacophony-like. Like a good classical music should.

4(+), but I feel almost to give better, because of sheer impact it has on my music mind.
