Sailor
5 stars Is impossible to do better than a first opera called IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING, I believe. But IN THE WAKE OF POSEIDON is a masterpice, too. It is similar to the previous album; the songs are beatiful, fully inspired and the band is magnific. the second song, Picture of a City (the fisrt Peace a beginning is a prologue), is an immaginary second time of SCHIZOID MAN. Sentimental and delicate Cadence and Cascade (Gordon haskell voice) and In The Wake Of Poseidon. Dark and Wild THE DEVIL'S TRIANGLE, a strumental piece wich is an electric version of 1916 Gustav Holst's masterpiece (op. 32 The Planets-Mars, the bringer of war), with a terrific sound of drums and mellotron (unforgettable!); at 10:52 is possible to listen a coda of the song IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING. An album to listen quietly, with a soft light and full concentration. Wonderful; if the first Crimso album was ten stars for me, this is eight, minimum.
Sailor | 5/5 |
