MIRACLES IN THE NOTHINGNESS

'Dawning of the Miracle' for the intro, well no, its live typified on 'In Humanity', a heralding intro for 'Children of the Void' with the start Phil COLLINS and its title from a famous ad; battery base appearing inorganic; a jazzy soulful rock track with languorous spleen radically denoting his punk-rock work; Riz is in a progressive avant- garde process with this airy piano on the cover; the swirling synthetic break with keyboards and languorous guitar brings compassion and delicacy for a captivating finale. 'My Name is Forever' Arab-Persian ambiance for a melancholic rock metal variation whose edges become hypnotic with its angelic vocals; the spleen guitar contradicts the clear percussion; the devastating solo like a thunderous and whirling ZAPPA-style musical research; break in the last third airy, meditative, intimate, neo-classical keyboard. 'Some Delectable Species' with a more pronounced bit, an organ of the times, an angry guitar reminiscent of the tortured 'Anyone' from 2001, languorous, soaring and melancholy atmosphere with a warm keyboard and spleen guitar. 'Transcending' for the first of 3 long pieces, 4 consensual minutes before a piano break which will wander into spatial limbo, one of the most beautiful; the return to the chorus suggests that the instrumental would have been enough in view of a final captivating guitar solo from Riz. 'Extinction Event' finally changes pace and atmosphere by offering a tortured heavy tune, bombastic at times; the heavy break starts with the hardcore of the beginnings before deviating into electro rap, confusing with a few lengths. 'Someone' for a tortured air, expression of the End; someone who walks in a devastated world, piano, monolithic vocals and electro touches for a dark nursery rhyme. 'Daylight' by the children for a bit of lightness, of hope, the tone is set, we wait for the variation in each title to let ourselves be capsized by yet another romantic-melancholic ballad of great beauty.

'Symptom of the Miracle' with Jon yes the last voice of YES for this Olympian title; progressive drift based on vocals, stereo works well; the energetic break makes the title gain nervous momentum, once again a rap phrasing; the finale returns to a latent rhythm with this musical rambling; very beautiful but the repetitive feeling is starting to take its toll. 'Evolutions' and its romantic piano cascade variation and these guitar notes seeming to come out of a 'We are from the Sun', a divine tune that lasts, which lasts. 'Anthropocene' sounds more rock and returns to long vocal tirades scattered with captivating guitar sounds. 'If the World is Running Down' for a soft, consensual title I like to say, to stay in the hypnotic atmosphere of the album; a ballad that flirts with a slide on the great plains of western California; a melting solo appears one more. 'Miracles in the Nothingness' for the masterpiece and I move away from the almost systematic dissection to pour into the dreamlike space which is that of Riz; a title of almost 20 minutes which passes like a night in the sun, an endless day with the kit, the ANYONE conglomerate; an electro rock sound, an invasive vocal, a hit pad that shakes you; a 1/3 break with children like on 'Daylight', variation and second break for the end with the sound flowing like a very clear spring of water, with neo-classical orchestration. 'The Ineffable Bliss of Being' wow with a title of this ilk it can only be an ode to the quality of Man, to a better future; so pompous air for that; a title looping like an endless screw to leave definitively in this better world that Riz dreams of.

ANYONE, a miracle coming from nothingness, from the fact of existing; Riz feels the world collapsing around us and represents it in sounds.
