Despite its short 44-minute length "The Magician Chronicles - part 1" has enough room to present the
talents of the Swedish proggers Brighteye Brison, who yet again after their well received
"Believers&Deceivers" put out a very good album. The opening 23 minute epic "The Rise of Brighteye
Brison" moves smoothly in its transitions, having an overall pretty symphonic feeling. The keyboard
and sax maestro Linus Kåse presents many quite fresh sounds and themes and the rest of the band also
fills their parts with quite stellar musicianship. A memorable composition both in melody and
structure. The other two tracks are also solid but not quite on the masterpiece level of the first
track. This album shows once again that those following the legacy of Yes, Genesis and the kind need
not to stick on similar soundscapes and tried patterns to retain that wondrous atmosphere found in
the 70s classics.
