STILL THE WATERS

So i was checking out progarchives top 100 albums of every year from 2000 to 2009 lists in prog genre, just to check if i have them all (ego issues) and i found THIS. Epignosis is a one man project, as he told me "it took over three years to get all this done" which makes perfect sense, what you will find here is far from been 'a starter' debut album, this is a very well crafted jewel, a long aged wine if you wish.

A solid work which mixes some very noticeable influences (in my opinion) i can hear the old Genesis melancholic keyboard notes and camel's signature bass lines, very inspiring and melodic lyrics and overall a calm atmosphere which sets the ambient to some melodic, acoustic, symphonic mood.

Not to mention that it was recorded by one man only at his home, this is truly evidence of a big technical acknowledge and of course, fanaticism towards the progressive music.

"Still the Waters" by Epignosis is, in my humble opinion, one of the finest works of 2009.
