As if anyone needed more proof of the booming Prog scene in Poland with such inspired groups like Collage/Satellite, Quidam, Albion, Lizard , Ankh and Turquoise to name a few. This central European country has been dishing out some luscious debut discs in the mid- 90s none more compelling than this stunner! Abraxas obviously grew up on a steady diet of Marillion for lunch and Genesis for dinner, led by a manic lead vocalist with a tinge of melodramatic hysteria and a kick-ass axeman who is unafraid to let his considerable talents shine as often as possible. Secured by a slick sound production, they positively romp through some spellbinding material from the opening epic "Tarot" all the way to the masterful classic "Tabula Rasa" with its fabulous extended synth workout as well as some tasty all around contributions from each and all. An hour of really good neo-prog at its finest. 4 cards
