NÁTTÚRA: MAGIC KEY

Starts with a beatlesque rhythym, reinforced by the female singer. An almost dancing synth takes part on the rhytmic sections, and sometimes the synth goes solo. Nice arrangements. In its middle the composition changes to a melodic and smooth approach. Guitar gently weeps, and gradually the time signatures gain complexity. On the end they make a combination of rock and roll and beatlesque executions.

A 60's psych flavour delivers the instrumental basis for the singer on the start of the 2nd track. On the other hand, it looks like the singer's trying to bring some Sonja Kristina influences (and I'm suspicious that there's a musical direct influence of "Backstreet Luv"). Incredible vocal harmonies are present, specially when two members are singing. Good use of cymbals, and the whole work on drums creates some excellent phrasings, which make a very effusive dialogue with the guitar. More to the end the music becomes repetitive, therefore a little boring.

Emends with the next track, on a rock and roll firm execution. A bit like Bad Company. Good harmonies, speed and drum turnovers; the whole instruments are consistently dynamic. Vocals are male (the best choice this time). The end is superb, with a more symphonic prog vibe, but also with a Caravan touch. Magnific vocalizations.

A kind piano and soft-jazzy drums introduces the following music. Then the arrangements become a bit experimental and strange. Looks like they wanted to add some psychedelic touches, but they weren't succesfull. Besides that, they repeat these tunes over and over. The changes on arrangements are subtle, nonetheless doesn't improve the composition. They switch to a more pastoral mood, when it gets better, with melodic and pompous harmonies.

Next is a simple and clean pop song. Male vocals.

A more accelerated and precise rhytmyc sections and rhytmyc guitar, with cohesive and inspired synth tunes, comes over on the 6th track. Female vocals. The conclusion of the song is well crafted.

An annoying rhythmic execution comes and goes on the next track. I also didn't like the arrangements and the turnovers made by the different instruments. It ends the same way it started: from nowhere to nowhere.

At least for me, the penultimate song looks like it has a romantic proposal, and also an introspective one. Specially on the beginning. Surprisingly it gets psychedelic and a bit nervous, kind of space-rock, on other parts of the track.

The atmosphere of the last song is similar to the previous track. But turns into a kind of a Mike Oldfield/Sally Oldfield effort. Smooth, spiritual, with georgeous female vocalizations. Reminding me also some stuff from Pekka Pohjola's 1970's solo career.

This is a very regular, cohesive and criative release. Also with plenty of differences between there most well known release, "... Lifun". This last one is unpredictable and very eclectic. Undoubtedly, I prefer "Náttúra:.

And for me it deserves a 4.1 rating.
