Electric Box Box Leve 41

evocations Senogul sound - a gem metaprogresiva 2009







ZAFRETH HELLO FRIENDS, LES SALUDA Cesar Mendoza.

now to be ending in July, back to this blog to talk about "Concert For Evocation Sonora Ensemble, Senogul second play phonograph, English band that embodies one of the strongest progressive proposals contemporary. After giving their debut self-titled 2007, a catalog of exquisite eclectic where lived the symphonic, fusion and psychedelia, "Concierto De Sonora Ensemble Evocation" emerges in 2009 as a delight of magnificent scale, a disc carrier peculiar magic where the group looks both perceptual lucidity sonic deepest roots as its architectural wisdom on the musical articulation.

The fact that the quintet has enjoyed an enormous amount of staff and has not followed a common structural pattern in all matters of repertoire used to finalize the trip rich sound that the group had planned for this second album. World-music elements, fusion and ambient are the most recurrent in this masterly evocation exercise sound envelopes are shown praying, now become suggestive, sometimes indulges in resources and surreal dreamscapes. 'Itamaracá' opens the album with a warm candor supported on accordion and baritone sax, even though a reprise of the same subject with accordion solo will close. In the meantime, we find great multicolored displays. There are issues of predominantly percussive mood in which questions are explored ritualistic and celebratory, as in 'Seven Moons (The Song of Wanderer) 'and' Terra-Terreiro '. We also have a theme like 'Swaranjali (Sangama Mantra)', the prologue and epilogue are focused on a plea of \u200b\u200bzither, while much of its central body is occupied by a slow psychedelic motif in which a subtle guitar provide an effective crimsonianas gray air density, nothing shocking. 'De Nooijer' begins with an ethereal atmosphere, which conveys a melancholy space finally lands in a calm and enveloping symphonic climax. 'Vigil in a permanent state' and 'Lughnassad' are practically pure embodiments of the dreamy, soft and mysterious levity flow of human thinking in the service of sound, cutting-edge musical resources as cloth prepared sheets that envelop our minds that we call limbo inscrutable world.

"Concierto De Sonora Ensemble Evocation" is a beautiful and mysterious album, a sonic exhibition against which the words are vain, and that includes the same review he writes a server. Anyway, I hope at best be called a little attention from readers in order to express my total appreciation for Senogul and his work. Strongly recommended!

How Long Does It Take For Senna Tea To Work

"Part the Second" - great contribution progressive maudlin of the Well for 2009




ZAFRETH HELLO FRIENDS, LES SALUDA Cesar Mendoza.




maudlin of the Well, and is called a progressive American avant-garde ensemble, in fact, is one of many projects run by the multi-instrumentalist (primarily guitar) Toby Driver. Having managed a precious work within KAYO DOT last year with "Blue Lambency Downward", now part of maudlin of the Well quintet gives us "Part the Second" in order to provide an airy and colorful artistic excellence to rock 2009. As the group likes to lowercase the initial letter of the first word is sometimes used to describe the diminutive mofW this assembly in question. The sound spectrum of this nuclear group aims to always maintain high doses of delicacy, not really tending magnificent trappings and pomposity patents but rather ingenious textures and moods of autumn cut, almost phonographic surreal.Con a career that began in 1996 and after passing product of disbanding a hiatus occurred in 2003, "Part the Second" is the fourth official album of the group (which has also released several demos before), and can be downloaded directly from the website of MOTW in various formats - for more details please consult link http://www.maudlinofthewell.net/downloads.html




'Excerpt from 6, 000, 000, 000, 000 Miles Before the First (Revisitation of the Blue Ghost) 'opens the album with almost 11 minutes of ethereal delight where the dull light of early evening and the mist final evening preceding the alternate latent and / or combined in a totally fluid. The intimate atmosphere is duly reinforced by the string arrangements and beautiful acoustic guitar solo, thus making stern whisper song that emerges in several passages. At the fifth minute and a half, the instrumentalists are enshrined in a well-sustained crescendo climax which does not last long, really, but that opens the door to retake the central motif with an extra touch of lysergic psychedelia, much to the "indie ". 'Another Excerpt - Keep Light Near You, Even When Dying' begins as a distant dream conjured led by the baritone violin architecture and synthesized music box, before the arrival of the battery make the entire assembly provides a rate-jazz rock for the development of a majestic occasion, almost symphonic. The guitar solo is powerful, getting to show off properly before the emergence of an alternating basis syncopated and more constrained. The coda is in a display of mystical melancholy. 'Turning to Rose Quartz Glass' sounds like a combination of chamber-rock and fusion, cleverly exploiting the softer side of the river despite being only a guest, Mia Mtsumiya lavish so much in their statements to the violin. The final parts are focused on a display not too complex but strikingly nimble progressive rock modern vibration powered. Although it might not seem obvious at first, the next topic 'Clover Garland Island' applies enough space to keep the momentum inherited from the previous issue. The presence of an interlude based on guitar chords Spartans and strings floating space provides an important introspective before they enter the battery to enhance things for a while, but the core remains conclusive solid piece of nostalgia. Finally, the last 11 minutes and peak of the album is occupied by 'Laboratories of the Invisible World' theme easily designable as the pinnacle doubt. Beginning in slow rhythmic parameters, the piece does not take long to expand in a shift towards explicit atmospheres and rhythmic developments versatile. Bombastic density manages to express a kind of mystical anger, it feels as cosmic as robust. The coda is resolved by way of a Mogwai Tortoise or locked in a soundtrack for a David Lynch film, but certainly it shows that we are enjoying the style of MOTW. The beautiful piano passages that culminate this track and the album, we hear a pristine aura of distinction.




Play "Part the Second" is a highly recommendable experience for any discerning music lover, and especially for any progressive music lover obsessive as this writer. Maudlin of the Well is a band to discover, if he has not done that yet.

An excellent collection of rare Gentle Giant material spanning over their career, with stuff like unreleased songs and live tracks, demo's and out-takes and other stuff that should be of interest to any Gentle Giant fan. It's interesting to hear how they "constructed" the songs here (hence the title "Under Construction") and in total, you get nearly 150 minutes of GG rarities that is definetely worth the price you pay for it if you are interested to hear how this band constructed their songs and other rare material from them. Many songs here, notably the unreleased songs from their debut LP days, Have excellent sound quality as well, Though Not always. Defenetely a must for fans! (Review by BJ1 from progarchives.com)
