TIME SILENT RADIO II

"Time Has No Place": a symphonic, cinematic intro, a train station feel, a melody based on Big Big Train, the Flower Kings, and Gentle Giant, a touch jazzy. The vocals appear with Brett and Ray, a touch of XTC, fresh and varied. The lively piano for the second of the four parts, harmony, an invading Mellotron, a marshmallowy return with the melting sound of ELO. The instrumental, the return of the vocals, the choirs, and the air sinking into a divine space with Ray at the helm. The nostalgic, yet not soporific, vintage prog moment; the intermission and the Beatles-esque vocals all at once, somewhere between pop and prog rock with a hint of Canterbury. The sound of King Crimson, the heavy riff supporting the choirs; a musical festival, a fusion of opera, nursery rhymes, and pastoral sequences, bordering on the styles of prog rock.

«'Water in Our Hands, Pts. 1-4» singular, fruity intro; the sound of the 70s for the voice and the musical structure; already lost in this musical maelstrom where we feel the deconstructed prog of Jethro Tull, technical, invasive. The vocal and instrumental mix makes us lose track of time; a compendium of rock with a captivating jazzy tessitura with bewitching voices; an entertaining space that seems to burst with discoveries in every drawer, like this rapped section, this passage on Genesis with the organ making the hairs stand on end. An acoustic piano interlude à la Joe Jackson with the tenacious guitar riff that flirts with «The Lamb». The six parts go from the epic to the moving for an adventure that took ten years, with many nods to Yes, Genesis above all, on Big Big Train narrating the inevitable passage of time. The Beatlesian finale, fruity and enjoyable xtcian and thirty minutes out of this time. The album that recalls "mei" for its impromptu continuation. Origin progcensor.(4.5)
