NEW FAUST

OK,firts of all,I ain't fan of ELP and keyboard-driven prog as a whole.And I didn't like the first one from MALENKIE TRAGEDIYI(Little Tragedies) as well.But the second one is much better!!!Despite the awful lyrics,which aren't fit here (edit:the matter of personal taste),the music has become less focused on keyboards only,and compositions are less boring (but 28 minutes of "Two Demons" is too much for me anyway!!!).Great melodical gift of Ilyin can be seen in keyboard-only tracks like "I am Tired to Be Around People","Margarita","Cup of Life" etc,reminding me of early LACRIMOSA a bit - strong melancholy feeling!!! Highly recommended for all Symphonic prog-lovers(even Prog-Metal devotees will find here some RIFFwork!!!) and Russian prog-newbies.For them it is a must

PS:"Confutatis" has astonishing intro!!!
