LIVE IN L.A.

Lets get down.....down under, that is!! Sebastian Hardie....those wonderfully talented boys from australia...led by the exellent Guitarist/occational vocalist Mario Millo...here caught live at the Los Angeles progfest 1994. And its absolutely great.....9 songs ( 7 from their " Four moments" album + one from the "Windchase" album)..plus one new (unknown to me at least): track # 9 "Millo´s bizzare Bizet solo". Ive always loved Sebastian hardie...their clean sober sound...their beautiful songs....beautifully played and arranged. If you never had the pleasure of hearing them....please correct that!! Soundwise they sometimes remind me (instrumental) of Camel...with hints of Finch..... those great layers of keyboards and guitar solo´s hovering on top.Actually there traces of Focus as well ....but overall the music is fresh innovative and the themes very beautiful..... some might hate the fact that this live recording is perfect...both in sound and expression. But thats the way of Sebastian hardie....studio or live : Perfect !!! Mario Millo and Toivo Pilt (keys) are the main attractions..but the guys working (down under, if you´ll pardon the pun) Alex Plavsic (Drums) and Peter Plavsic (bass) do carry their weight!! In all....great progmusic from these guys....check out their studiowork " Four moments" and " Windchase" if you like it (and you will )go to this gem........lovely !!!!!!!!
