HYBLA ACT 1

I have heard their fine debut album but this album #4 is a better and more original effort. I'm delighted about the variety in the compositions, the use of a lot of different Italian singers (especially the opera-like vocalist sounds great, a matter of taste), the wonderful vintage keyboard sound (Mellotron, Moog), the splendid and alternating guitar play (acoustic, Spanish, metal, wah-wah, some sensitive soli and howling soli) and beautiful work on the violin. The 25 tracks are varied and dynamic, only at some moments a bit too fragmentic or too many ideas after each other. But in general this CD is an impressive progressive piece, the subtitle "A barock opera" fits perfect to the music. It will not everybody's cup of tea but (it's not really mainstream) but this prog taste like adventure and progress! WONDERFUL!
