ZARATHUSTRA

The best album of all time. There is no comparison to this album, there is no other band that made an album that was better than this one. For over twenty years I have held this as THE album, and still today there is nothing that sounds better. There are outstanding albums out there made by Yes, Pink floyd, Genesis, Banco etc but this little gem manages to outshine them all.

As you can tell, this is italian progressive rock at it's finest. The album is a perfect blend of agressive guitars and keys with soothing melodies, full of different chops and interludes. The great vocals just complement it all. I love how they make use of the keyboards, how they use mellotron, hammond and moog at precisely the right moment to make the songs really shine. I love how they manage to move between hard rock moments to complete tranquility in no time and how that makes the songs sound more dynamic.

This is how perfection sounds like. This album is timeless.
