SUMMARIUM SYMPHONY

This album is extremely hard to pin down. The best I can get is classical music with vague rock influences (some tracks do feature a drum kit and guitars). If you've ever listened to Montreal-area post-rock (like Bell Orchestre or later works from A Silver Mt. Zion), you'll know what to expect. But all pigeonholing aside, the album itself is great. While the compositions sometimes seem to be wandering or lost in their own great sound, this is thankfully the exception to the rule. Most of the pieces are focused instrumental expressions with classical instruments, which frequently turn out to be enjoyable listens. It's difficult to pin down individual tracks as being standout, but the overall experience from the album is certainly enjoyable and far from a taxing listen. I'd highly suggest a listen. And, it's free, so I don't see why you wouldn't try it.
