THE FINEST OF MIRACLES

CICCADA is a Greek band that offers an exceptional mix. This formation has achieved two feats. The first is to prove that producing great progressive rock is possible in a country with no tradition in this style. The second is to revive the golden period of Italian (Quella Vecchia Loccanda) and South American (Baccamarte) progressive rock, while marrying it with the English folk-prog heritage of the seventies (Jethro Tull, Gentle Giant, Gryphon). A complex music with rich instrumentation (Rock, Brass, Wood, strings, traditional), brilliantly interpreted and perfectly recorded. Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys mixing progressive rock with folk music. No doubt, "The finest of miracles" is a great addition to any prog rock music collection. I do not put five stars because I expect a lot from their next album. I would be really annoyed if it is even better!
