Hi, there is still one mistake in Japanese band "Novela" discography: www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=2016. Album "Sanctuary" was recorded in 1983 but before "Harmageddon Story". And just after "Harmageddon Story " was "Harmageddon Story 2"(1984).

There is also text:
"......One of their most progressive songs is the two-part "Requiem", originally released on an EP, which combines a jaunting melody with Genesis-like acoustic guitars and solemnly bombastic keyboard arrangements (though Hirayama wrote the majority of Novella's material, it's Egawa's keyboards that are often the focal point of the song). The short Part Three, with English lyrics, appears on the Paradise Lost album (the CD version also includes the previous two parts). After that album, the band dropped their second guitarist and replaced their rhythm section. The next album, Sanctuary, seems to be their most popular release, and shows the band replacing some of the metal influences with more poppy ideas and packing those ideas tighter into songs like the snappy rocker "Lunatic". Genesis influence, comparable to the neo-prog bands of the time, shines through on the dramatic "To the Wings" and especially in the bouncy main melody of "Through the Forest", articulated alternatively on clinkety keyboards and heavy guitars. Novela's sound could here be termed a heavier and more dramatic version of British neo-progressive sound. Novela's pinnacle achievement, however, is their 1983 album Harmagedon Story, apparently a concept album based on a manga series by author Mineko Yamada. .........." |
