ENIGMARDEN

This album contains both dissonant and ordinary-listener-friendly elements. On the one hand, the two opening tracks are very dark (but the first one is more listenable due to clarinets solos). The title track and the last track are the most progressive ones. Such tracks are not for those who prefer mainly ARENA-like music. On the other hand, "Ah Ty, Nochenka" is based on the Russian traditional music. "Heartcrying" reminds requiem-like music (and is based on a few chords). "Charitas" is a song with female voices in German. These three tracks (and also "Gentle Spring Of Spring") may be relevant for lovers of CAMEL, GRYPHON or WHITE WILLOW. In short, this album is for both King Crimson-oriented people and those who prefer instrumental prog with wind instruments (if such listeners are not against computer drums).
