CORNWALL !

1. Cornubia for the avant-garde jazzy adventure, not my favorite but I always persevere when I have difficulty; well the piano does well and shows a severe mastery already, a little crystalline 2. The Song of Western Men and the slap, excellent folk piece on the atmosphere of the Channel Islands, the flute, the bagpipe, the solemn drums, we believe we are there; the harp that I love comes to visit us and reminds me of VOLLENWEIDER, ENYA on the other hand; the plus the clear, airy, nonchalant music side that swells, that swells, that submerges in less than 4 minutes, a musical Eldorado 3. The Battles of Lostwithiel for the fusion of genres with flights worthy of VANGELIS, wanderings worthy of OLDFIELD, bucolic keyboards worthy of GENESIS and this side of Albion Charisma; the majestic and grandiloquent side in the second part on a piano solo that struggles to take off; too bad the bagpipes return to the charge for a sumptuous finale 4. Ancient Dukes and Mythological Heroes between piano and keyboards, a zest of flute, a very gentle wandering that manages to make you appreciate the instruments, between rock, world, jazzy and intoxicating melodies, with Olfiedian overtones I insist; a progressive wandering piece with its ups and downs that keeps your attention.

5. The Ballad of Elisabeth Raby with the catchy intro, the one that makes you listen; an invasive piano arpeggio that reels off its notes like a diamond refracting its internal light; a dark moment, a bit of cinematic and it starts again, VOLLENWEIDER must have been listened to at home without a doubt, it's beautiful, clear, relaxing and fruity, enough to eat! favorite piece for its delicacy and its evanescent atmosphere 6. From Pickaxes to Weapons for the vibrant Cello, the clairvoyance, the latency, the traditional instruments distilling contemplation; the flute arrives, the dark cinematic climate deepens, the progressive research at its paroxysm; a rambling that flows naturally, a symphony of today, bluffing 7. Ritual Dance of Mermaids and Seals for the piano and sax duo giving a moment of jazzy musical joust, the sax a little abrasive, disturbing but avoiding routine; the connection with this dry drum which from the beginning amalgamates the other instruments; 8. Last Waltz for Captain Treeve with an intro always so warm but which deviates on a jazzy whirled sound that the fans will undoubtedly love, a freshness which makes me say that there is not only prog metal in the progressive world.
