THE ENLIGHTENING MARCH OF THE ARGONAUTS

A hidden masterpiece from Italy (once more). After their wonderful "Abraham", QUASAR LUX SYMPHONIAE gave to prog music another beautiful stuff, plenty of rich and emotive melodies, always delicated. Both male (raw and emotive) and female (operatic and expressive) voices fit perfectly in desperated and shattering tunes, touching the listener soul and giving a feeling of majestic sadness. Music flows slowly, always in desolated landscapes. The progressive elements are mixtured with classical musicians influences (I can hear some LISZT and RACHMANINOFF tunes). In "The Punishment of the Submerged", the forth track, are the heavier rock moments, but the whole album shows a real sense of refinement. Don't miss this work. It's one of those albums that can really touch you and teach everybody why progressive is the most beautiful music genre.
