NOSTRADAMUS BOOK OF PROPHECIES

What to classify it as? Instrumental progrock, with loads of symphony, choirs, some electronics (ala Alan Parsons Project?), and various styles implented into it, from heavier prog to prog-folk.

People at a CD stand at a concert actually recommended Solaris to me, and after some searching, this is the first CD of them I found. Now, I'll admit I'm not a great fan of instrumental prog, but this I like quite a bit. I find it to be relaxing to listen to. It's somewhat ambient, even, without the mind-bobbling complex tunes like we find in bands such as SPOCK'S BEARD and THE FLOWER KINGS, or even FINCH.

I don't listen to this a lot, but when I do, I'm immediately back in that ancient world again...a strange, but pleasant feel. I have my sights set on the other albums of Solaris, for sure. Rating? Four stars...it really is a gem.

Yours, Tailscent
