HERETIK VOLUME I: BODY OF ACCUSATIONS

First of all I want to point out immediately that there's a certain discontinuity, talking about the ideas of the founder keyboardist of this "prolific" band: well don't get me wrong, the preliminary chapter of this trilogy works quite well, nevertheless its unique defect is represented by the present tracks, which perhaps sometimes introduce a certain profusion of similar themes and that's the problem regarding also the third chapter of the story!!Secondly I think of the only concept album -being never boring- represented also by a long stunning suite,which is never tiring: that's "Four Raiders of the Apocalypse" by Dice for example; or if you prefer, consider also something more accessible, another must have album like the mythical "Thick as a Brick" by Jethro Tull and for sure that material is superior... it let me be perplex , nevertheless the present issue, a mix between such a symphonic music and a fusion genre too,often is well arranged and in the vein of a couple of works by Jean Pascal Boffo for example (do you remember his "Rituel"?!)!! In some circumstances only you can find an uneven stuff and that's the unique controversial question if you are not able to keep your concentration on the concept. However,certainly, the dialogues inside the booklet- concerning the last episode of the trilogy- will make the listener follow the development of the story more easily; but here, by forgetting the repetition of some music themes only (which should make it deserve an inferior score) you can follow anyway the good output of such Nathan Mahl's lush keyboards by Guy Le Blanc, like watching a movie... moreover this fact is important for whom is not already into their complex stuff!!

Have a good listen, if you are into the instrumental albums!!
