PASSAGE TO THE FOREST OF MYSTERIOUS

What i do really like in a recent Antonys releases is the quality and "saturation" of the sound and production! It seems like it`s getting better all the time. I was so dissapointed with Rick Wakemans latest release (don`t get me wrong - i`m not comparing music here - just the production) where the sound of drums and the whole band is so "narrow" and sometimes even "plastic"... I feel the same with the latest Jethro Tull release "RokFlote", i`m not the one who dares to speak about "prog by numbers" - there are plenty of "proffesionals" who nows this rules and scales much better than me, now i`m speaking about the "wall" of sound the classy production that even some Prog giants are missing. "Passage to the Forest of Mysterious" has this catchy lush atmosphere. Both acoustic "Spektra" style pieces and fabulous epic tracks brings this feeling of a FLOW. (by the way - may i recommend you Roine Stolts solo album "Hydrophonia" - fantastic instrumental symphonic rock journey from the times when it was a good trend to write proper melodies and not just dive into the music for musicians). I do hope this latest Karfagen release will be avilable as a Vinyl LP. Sunchild LP "Exotic Creatures" is on its way (it`s a limited to 300 copies edition that can be pre-ordered from Antonys bandcamp page). Passage to the Forest comes in a lovely 2 cds Digipack limited edition with "Birds" as a bonus album - great release! Highly recommended to ALL prog fans!
