DAVID SANCIOUS & TONE: DANCE OF THE AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT

This is a staggering masterpiece & is still my sixth favourite album of all time, just blazing perfection. It's a shame that very few people in the 20th/21st Century have heard what is arguably one of the most moving and jaw dropping symphonic jazz suite put to tape. The first time I heard this I was moved to tears on three or four occasions during the Overture and the first four beautiful minutes of the First Movement. The architecture of the music is awesome....cathedrals of sound. Brilliant multi-tracking of a single mini moog. If David never wrote/played another note I would say he is a genius of compositional conception and should be up there with other composers like Keith Emerson, Jan Hammer & Rick Wakeman. Every song on here is amazing with soaring synths and keyboards and some stunning piano work by David. Although, the highlight of this album would be the 1st Movement. A 12 minute long peice with some of the most remarkable playing from Tone that just moves me so much. What makes David Sancious such a great composer is that there is just as much Progressive Rock in his songwriting as there is Jazz Fusion, & not only that but is pulling off of other serveral genres such as Classical and Funk.

Overall, this is just such a mind blowing and beautiful Symphonic Prog Jazz Rock album that I heavily recommend with his other work Forest Of Feelings & Transformation.
