ACHROMATA

This album is a tour de force of symphonic violin melodies atop a post-rock foundation. Calm, melodic intros of violin yield to big, brooding, triumphant post-rock guitar finishes. It has the grandeur of a heroic, cinematic epic. I could imagine making a movie just so I could use this album as the sound track. My only issue with the album is that after several tracks, they all begin to sound alike, at least, to my ears. I would have enjoyed more variation in composition. I was thoroughly engaged at the beginning, but bored by the end. Nevertheless, a very good post-rock album that would be an excellent addition to any prog rock music collection. Four stars.
