MUSICAL WITCHCRAFT

Im not so familiarized with bands or artist from Hungary, but what im sure is that Solaris and this solo album are really great , this solo album is similar to Solasis`releases, but not the same, in fact here in Progarchives we can find Solaris in symphonic rock, and Kollar Attila in prog folk, im not sure if he could be categorized as a prog folk artist, for example this albums has lots of flutes (of course, he`s a flutist), but i mean, maybe you will remind Ian Anderson who is completely folk, but this album isnt, i think the most of this album is symphonic music, folk exists here, but not so much for categorize it as a prog folk album, it has great keyboards and a outstanding guitar work, which is the perfect complement of flute, really electric guitar is great here.

It has 7 songs, the first one is simply called "Musical Witchcraft Suite", but what a suite, is a 19 minutes epic, which has some good changes, powerful passages and very symphonic sound, another thing, here, is the same way as Solaris, instrumental music, it has some voices, in 7th song 2Alchemy" we can find them, but not lyrics here, so is like a musical trip, with some emotional passages , returning to the first song, it is my favorite, its that kind of songs that you have to listen to it entirely, despite the lenght, because you can appreciate all the music, and the complexity of it.

Track 5 "Silent man`s prayer" is another great track, nice bass sound , good arrangements and again an excellent guitar, some tracks are maybe dark tracks, but always into the symphonic sound. This album is great, i like it so much, all the songs are good and well placed, so i enjoy them every time i listeng to them.

If you like Solaris, then you should try this album, i repeat, it is not the same sound, but is similar,it is innovating and maybe a bit experimental, and you can enjoy the work of Kollar Attila.

For all that reasons, i am sure this album deserves at least 4 stars, i would give it 4.5 stars really, but it doesn`t reach the name of masterpiece of progressive rock, so 4 stars, excellent addtion to any prog fan.

I highly recommend it!
