OMNI

I truly hope OMNI brings you the respect you so clearly deserve! It's been amazing to witness all the progress you've made over the past few years. Releasing such an outstanding statement like OMNI is, without a doubt, a major success. And with this album, you've undeniably stepped into the high league of progressive rock.

OMNI is a release that holds magical depth, filled with so many beautiful melodies ? something so rare in the modern prog genre. While many bands drift through chord sequences and layers of sound, I love when there's melody in music ? it's the heart, the core.

Speaking of the melodic core in OMNI, it almost feels like a musical. There are guiding themes, and all the excellent musicians involved feel like actors ? each one playing their role with meaning and precision.

I've listened to the album so many times that it's hard to pick a favorite track. They all work perfectly together, forming a cohesive suite. But if I had to choose just three, they would be:

"Whispers from the Past" ? A charming and hypnotic, almost medieval acoustic ballad. I especially want to highlight Olga Rostovska's voice ? absolutely beautiful!

"The Cards We Play" ? A true prog rock hit! It hooked me the moment it was released as a single. Marco Glühmann's vocals and Michel St-Père's guitar work bring magic to this 8-minute gem ? pure progressive rock delight.

"Storyteller (Parts 1 & 2)" ? I love both parts, but the second one brings tears to my eyes. A touching father-and-son story, full of emotional highs and lows? what a powerful acoustic piece.

"Dreams that broke, we turned to gold, Wounds that healed, stories told. Through the tears, through the strife, We penned the poems of this life."

I highly recommend this album. In my opinion, it will remain a bright chapter in prog rock history.
