4 stars This new album by Antony Kalugin is another breath of fresh air! It is the epitome of what classic prog-rock should sound like.

The album opens at a slow pace, but that soon changes and we are treated to a soundscape of wonderful harmonies between the keyboards and the guitars. Antony has composed some beauties here and there is not only a tapestry of melodies and counter melodies, but some very interesting sound effects too. There is a variety of styles ranging from prog to jazz. I noticed that there were some exquisite piano melodies supporting the main themes, but what really got me is the guitar playing. Some real juicy riffs and solos, adding extra texture to support the keys.

Also there is some intricate drumming that adds to the pace of these songs, and I have to admire the skill used here. And there are some nifty bass playing too! And I'm sure there is a vocoder in there somewhere. I love the sound of those things, especially in this type of music. I really enjoyed this album very much, and I shall be listening to this for some time to come!

So Antony has created 3 albums recently and I can't wait to hear about live gigs. Once bands can tour again when this Covid has settled, I'm sure there will be occasions to see performances, and I shall be so excited to see this music played live. But in the meantime, let's enjoy music such as this! Great album Antony!
