ECHOES FROM WITHIN DRAGON ISLAND

Who can tell this formula of great art rock opus!? I have asked Antony to reveal the secret of its creation.. how it develops and turns from raw sketches into the bright ambitious statement. I know Antony for some years now and always been his fan , his way and style of composing inspires me. I'm keyboardist as well (own a lot of synths) and can say Anton has cool sound of his keys always ) by the way he did some recordings of my good old Kurzweil k2500 and Roland fantom on his latest recordings . I really appreciate the fact that I can be involved in this process with 'maestro' to share with him my synth arsenal )) has With this album I was blown away by the arrangement and sound- production. Symphonic instruments and moog leads, mellotron and guitars placed perfectly into the musical landscape. And Viktor Sirotin is good on drums - fits album perfect as well! Nice vocals, especially I like a few vocalize sections. I will agree with all positive reviews regarding musical material of the album.. and there was no clear answer from Antony.. Magician?! Hard work?! Inspiration?! I think all components are there. And I'm glad to know him personally, to see and enjoy Anton's talent. Support his team. With 20 albums under different names, Antony without a doubt is a bright figure on the Prog rock Horizon! Ps. I'm not all time musician like Anton, but I do understand how much energy, time and yes, money needed to produce such album. So I'm outraged by those ones who rate this opus with 2 or even 1 star !! If it's not your music- just walk away.
