PREDILUVIAN (WITH THE ORIENTAL ROCK ORCHESTRA)

Yossi Sassi member of the famous Orphaned Land, released an album in 2012; his 6th explores and merges musical boundaries; he uses traditional instruments orienting his reading on the Orient by surfing on the rock- tradition imprint with oriental bouzouki, violins, charrango and bouzoukitara (homemade between guitar and bouzouki).

'On Shoulders of Nephilim' dark atmosphere on a mysterious acoustic guitar. 'Uriel Machine' tumbles, well-paced prog rock from there with a smooth rise. 'Oopart' funky satrianesque rock with Arabic melody and Serra-Knopfler finale from the Orient. 'Atlantis' melancholy banjo bringing an ambient guitar slide serenade, a pad in the background and a Sicilian rhythm, beautiful with this evolving guitar solo. punchy rock 'Armaros Fall' with vocals by The Haken's Ross; longer, AOR, with a gradual evolution to the oriental choirs which holds the pavement high; vocal harmonic finale. 'Anelo' minimalist guitar arpeggio interlude with typical flute on a plaintive vocal.

'Watchers of Iyrin' sinks into the meanders of the desert, the wind blows, the instruments add to it to set off on a thousand exciting nights. 'Architect of the Stars' flat electronic jazz-rock interlude with a flute that makes you wave and an immediately bewitching, catchy tune. 'Vision of Water' for an alkaline theme, dancing on frenetic water; the atmosphere of the dancer obviously present. More traditional 'Kumlar' with the pan flute finally from there which distills a quiet tone and a lot of emotion. 'Sirius' returns to a rock guitar air with scents of 'Vidocq' and Steve Vai for a delirium of notes, Yossi very good and too rare in this position. 'The First Sunrise' jazzy a la Al di Meola takes us to the memory of one of our first sunrises and its wonder, staged by Yossi with his thousand fingers.

Yossi Sassi surrounded by his orchestra sinks into the meanders of oriental sounds, dark, ephemeral, soft; a musical therapy to fight against the atmosphere of the current world, a sound which on the other hand deviates more and more from metal to my great regret because very comfortable in its solos; eyeing more towards Hackett & Djabe; 'Prediluvian' the one who lived before the flood or the Hebrew musical journey beyond borders for a moment of relaxation.
