THE KEEPER OF AN HOURGLASS

Second release of this little known prog act from Russia, issued in 2014 and named The keeper of an hourglass. Very pleasent and enjoyble album at the same level with predecessor, symphonic prog elements melted with folky parts, eclectic manuvres all well constructed and well played. The music is well structured, classically-influenced compositions, with nice arrangements and great keybords parts, and one hell of a great voice coming from Irina Surina who only is behind the mic on two pieces - The Confession Of A Witch and Tranquilly And Uneasily, the best pieces from here, absolutly great tunes, the rest are more then ok. To me this album is one of the best from russian prog in last years, and I think they need a far more recognition, they are more intresting then many bands with name from this field. Now, the cover art is excellent like the whole booklet of the cd, nice drawings, who gives a realy solid visual content. I'll give 4 stars for sure, very solid and intresting.
