Very solid music and rich orchestration occupy the vast majority of this disc.
Rates are purely martial at times, but at others they are advancing on background voices or more celestial stamps, creating a beautiful sound architecture where harmony flat high, liberated from a world rocked by earthquakes .
The disc opens with a very airy song carried by a clear and coated with a crystal voice will sound. First bearings, discrete beginnings power surges that follow.
A very pleasant and remarkably varied piece in its orchestration.
But from the first second of "Woad To Ruin", the second song, more than 11 minutes bravura piece, forces are unleashed. Ropes that mark, victorious and stunning brass percussion help you take on gigantic wings to fly over vast areas.
And many struggles galvanized by it as an epic and compelling breath.
The pieces will be linked together, relatively long without real break of atmosphere.
Agitation is controlled perfectly. Divided and distributed to different instruments with exceptional mastery of orchestration, it takes you, throws you into battle and you book, insignificant, the forces present. The piece entitled "Budget Meeting" is the best example. Percussion, played by a whole army of musicians, reach a peak here. And then a sob, cello drops you in a place protected from the chaos. Then, eyes closed, a height is reached where, from a peace ageless softly floating nets mists ... little respite before the final gallop. Irresistible!
"All Of Them" which closes this gigantic partition starts on a voice mode with a female voice that launches long strokes towards a horizon where the forces come together one last time.
Real small symphonic development, this piece will alternate rates and atmospheres, leaving much room for peaceful harmonies where the cello sings again a very fascinating melody. Choirs then will galvanize the whole orchestra, percussion leaving the task of bringing us to a climax that leaves breathless.
Outstanding work of a composer at the peak of his art.
Splendid performance of an army of top-flight musicians.
Impressive expertise of technicians who have managed to enclose a universe of astounding magnitude in the microscopic pits of a CD.
Jubilant and electrifying.
