STRUCTURES

In my humble opinion KOTEBEL should be named as the modern version of THE ENID.The project was an idea of Venezuelean keyboardist/pianist Carlos Plaza and was formed in 1999 in Madrid.A year later the ambitious work ''Structures'' sees the light.The album is almost a one-man work,as only the flutes,the rare used guitars and some ethnic percussion are handled by guest musicians.Plaza plays all keyboards as well as bass and percussion parts in the album.Musically speaking,''Structures'' is a grandiose journey in the world of classical music with some rock elements and resembles much to THE ENID's works.The keyboard parts range from mellow,melancholic passages to ethereal drives and complex piano/synth interplays.The classical structures of the totally instrumental arrangements are supported by the trully amazing passionate flutes of Omar Acosta,close to the CAMEL's style.So,if you'really into classical music (or even if you're not),''Structures'' is an amazing,perfectly-composed work for all the followers of classical-oriented progressive rock.An overlooked prog highlight!
