MESSAGES FROM AFAR - THE DIVISION AND ILLUSION OF TIME

Sunchild is one of the three-band projects featuring the young and talented Ukrainian composer and keyboardist Antony Kalugin. The 7th album of Sunchild 'Messages From Afar' contains 8 songs that are very melodic packed well and with excellent musical ability especially 'Victory Voyager' the 20 minute playing epic on the album. I felt there was a vangelis influence between Max Velychko's fuzzy guitar at the beginning of the song. And surely there are also many influences from previous symphonic progressive bands such as camel, mike oldfield and pink floyd. I think Anthony Kalugin is one of the best progressive musicians today and this 'Messages From Afar" deserves to be in your collection. Highly recomended!
