MINORISA

This one would be really an excellent album, just if there would not be the third track. The first two are great ones offering everything what a proghead's heart is desiring, complexity, fantastic keyboards-guitar interplay and just the right degree of strangeness without becoming too "pretentious". But the third one is much more than superfluous, it's just boring minimalistic electronic noodling and although it's the shortest one of the three it's still much much too long (exactly 8 minutes and 6 seconds too long). And since there is just a bit less than 30 minutes left of good music, it's just too little to deserve a fourth star. Still a quite good album, but I'm hesitating to call it an essential one. I'd give another half star if possible!
