ËMËHNTËHTT-RÉ

I've been listening to this album since the first week of its release, but I was waiting until the CD+DVD package arrives, in order to have a full "taste" of it. And the package actually contains a leaflet with the album's lyrics in Kobaian! Anyway, I think that no one can blame those who find Ëmëhntëhtt-Rê's repetitive parts, operatic vocals, the peculiarity of a made-up language, the dominance of the bass guitar or the absence of solos not too friendly to their ears. On the other hand, I believe that every music lover will agree that this album is a genre of its own! It is obvious that Christian Vander had a clear vision here and he gave life to it in a marvelous manner! I don't know why exactly I was expecting wind instruments in this album (maybe after watching the breath-taking MDK live version of the "Trilogie Au Trianon" DVD) , but this is not the case: Mr Vander used piano, drums, bass, guitar, vibraphone, fender rhodes and voices to make this captivating opus. The flow of music draws you away giving you goose bumps of vertigo pleasure, depth, darkness, light and grandeur. Considering that this record is created in 2009, I cannot but feel happy because it proves that masterpieces can still be created as we speak!
