DARK CLOUDS

"No passions" archaic sound, Hackettian arpeggio, fat, warm voice, a soft sound with an organ in the distance and the soft drums, the synth break on the big MMEBs, soaring like Banks, immense. "Fleeting spark" same pattern, consensual title at the start then progressive drift with saturated organ and guitar on Gilmour's, the Genesis 2nd version synth amplifying the musical effect; final on the keyboards. "Hand in hand" Mellotron on a sad vocal, everything is fine, a melodic rhythm and this electro drums; the always garnished break, contemplative synth and bass. "I can fly" the latent melodic intro, before the organ starts; consensual verse then the divine sound à la Banks but it's Chris at the helm, take a little hint of Pink Floyd, it doesn't stop; prog opening not regressive closing. "The Phoenix" electro, fast, a cheerful tune for a variation with synthetic pad, the sounds swell, deflower the speakers, a magnificent exercise in style.

"In their realm of silence and hue" intro with a few seconds referring to a toccata and fugue; different track with more electronics and a monolithic take on Rick Wright, haunting, encompassing the lovely prog sound; the concept album must be named on this opus, a superb but too short guitar solo before another in keyboard lava; reminiscences that fly away and make you want to dive back into them. "From nothing to life" which immerses me in "Ripples" yes just my opinion; the bass asserts, the choirs give way to this guitar often put in the background; it's so beautiful that the vocals are almost disturbing; the mid-tempo tune to get into the contemplative prog; dreamlike keyboard solo that heats up, the best title. "The boy and his butterfly" from the wind, the piano, Chris for the intimate, dark ballad that the Mystery could have covered; meandering solo break with two notes taken from a Genesisian title. "Dance of existence" final on Japanese land, similar title, consensual after this deluge of progressive sounds after this musical slap.

Cen-ProjekT has just released an OMNI between enjoyable keyboards and solemn, dark lyrical flights. (4.5) Originally on Progcensor.
