DE PROFUNDIS

3.5 stars. This is a record you really need to "listen" to in order to appreciate both the talent and complexities that are offered. There is a lot of variety on this album and the band members are given space to show their skills. In fact some are given whole songs to shine. Such as the cello play throughout "Stonehenge" that is amazing, or the guitar melodies during "Kifulladasig", excellent ! The piano melodies throughout "Kisyasut" are so beautiful. Check out the vocal melodies in the opening song "Bevezetes" that sound so good.

These classically trained musicians reveal their roots in "Modern I Dok" while there is a folk feel to the final tune "A Vilag Vegen" with female vocals. The song "Stalker" is the epic with mood and tempo changes galore. Opening with the gong, followed by percussion and synths.This song goes from pastoral (words and flute) to a wall of sound, and the last two minutes are beautiful. "Kulvarosi ej" has such a gorgeous soundscape. The title song "De Profundis" is such a highlight as well with flute,piano and good vocals.

If your into Classical music you really owe it to yourself to check out AFTER CRYING.
