SUMMEREVE

What a great symphonic piece of music. I really didn't want to say that, but I'm forced to, if I am going to be honest with myself. Listening to a lot of prog music across many genres, one can get into a rut of looking for something new, or searching for new uncharted musical territory, as a way of approaching a new album. The thing of it, is this; great music doesn't always need to break new ground. It just needs to be. And this is is exactly what the final movement of the the seasons quadrilogy by HOSTSONATEN does. A beautiful, symphonic 44 minutes, that washes over you much better as a whole entity, than a comprisal of 8 tunes. I am always pleasantly surprised when an album digs deeper into your emotions after the 4th or 5th listen. Having said all this, I would like to point to Season's Overture as a personal highlight with it's moody beginning and uplifting body. I can't wait for the next offering by Fabio et al.
