DAS GEHEIMNIS

Comments based on a purchased download from Amazon. Wow! This album is a great listen. The sound is rich, deep, and full. The instrumentation is superb. The bass is prominent while guest drummer Jimmy K shows again what a high caliber drummer he is. The guitar work is another plus, solos are great. My favorite part are the keyboards. Piano, organ, mellotron, and synths are for me, a keyboard fanatic, a high point. Some great Emerson inspired moments. Love everything about it. The vocalist is also very good. Very talented and emotive. He does sing in German, I don't understand it but love the sound of it, it seems natural. The songs are interesting. Lots of change ups, like heavy almost metal sounding one minute and soft and tender the next. The 27:12 minute epic, "D.V.", is amazing. This music is on the heavy side of symph.

I like that variety of sound on this album. Very enjoyable. Highly recommended.
