KORNELYANS: NOT AN ORDINARY LIFE

I listeen KORNELYANS "Not an Ordinary Life" for the first time about two or three years ago, and confess, I need more of a single audition, not to enjoy the music of this Yugoslavian band, but to recognize the magnificence of their music. In this Kornelyans albun you can find a mix of countless progressive styles, from the space to jazz and touching the border of symphonic and hard prog, make with a rare perfection. The first track give to us a wrong impressiom of a main influence of Greenslade or another keyboard oriented progressive band, however in the next track the sound changes entirely with a initial swing and a strongly presence of the a conductress guitar and suddenly appears one brief moment conduct by conga drums and some vocals wich returns to the initial theme and develop in a merge of space prog and jazz rock passage full of improvisations and nervous scales and symphonic momments then returns the initial theme to a superb form. The track 2 shows beautiful acoustic guitar passages and very psychedelic themes. The track four is a fantastic jazz prog, and is one of the best momments in the disk. The track 5 is also great and in a certain passage reminds me Gentle Giant and El&Palmer in various aspects. The track 6 close the disk in the same way of the first track and reminds me again keyboard oriented progressive. The musicians are excellent. In addition I like mention the cover wich is very funny. My rate is 5 stars, without a trace of doubt !!!
