5 stars The only thing I can complain is : how i wish to have this album and "Land of Green" bonus disk as a Double CD release. Land of Green and Gold reaches jazz rock bounderies so nice and organic that it makes me eager to listen to it again and again. Alex Pavlos guitar playing and sound (ala Allan Holdsworth) compliments the album so much. Of course Max Velychko did a great job on a Land of Gold epic as well! Not a big fan of a saxophone - here it works so organically well. Konstantin Ionenko on bass and on double bass - well done! (just listen to the Land of Green part 2 where double bass is just tenderly guiding you through the pastoral landscapes). The "second" cd has 2 parts of Horizons that are absolutely fantastic!! "The Blossom" is a charming mellow short ballad that reminds me "The Key" from Antony Kalugin "Chameleon Shapeshifter". I`ve talked to Antony and he said that there will be a Vinyl LP release of "Land of Green and Gold". So, fingers cross - let`s hope it will be available in some nearest future as we all know how expensive LP production is and how "popular" art rock in general... But despite of what`s happening, Antony prooves that he`s strong and brave enough to carry on. (i`m listening to the Land of Green Pt,2 witing this words... 1:50 wow, fantastic culmination and great "background" for words: BRAVE ENOUGH TO CARRY ON! ps. Very memorable artwork!! (I have a newly designed T-Shirt with a Dragon Fly, check Antonys bandcamp merch page.) Highly recommended to all prog rock lovers (or even Fusion and Jazz rock)!
