TALES FROM A FORGOTTEN WORLD

Belonging to a late-80's/early-90's Brazilian movement of soft symphonic rock bands,TEMPUS FUGIT are on the road in a way or another since 1989.However,it was severe line-up changes,which didn't help the band to release a full-length album,until in 1996 ''Tales from a forgotten world'' sees the light.A rather long album for the time,''Tales...'' is a concept fantasy work dominated by the superb melodies and the beautiful ''synth-scapes''.Although influences are many,a modern instrumental GENESIS version and a melodic side of CAMEL would be an appropriate description.Add to this rock sound-version heavy doses of synths,but not in a bombastic way,rather synthesizers are used as a background electronic-like instrument to create unique atmospheres and emotions...and TEMPUS FUGIT have done it very well,I must admit.Overall,''Tales...'' is a relaxing release with only sporadic,almost spoken vocals and tons of inspired instrumental symphonic-like music for the salvation of every ''angry'' soul out there.Strongly recommended!
