The fifth album from this Lebanese artist, living in Kuwait.
Bader Nana does the drums(programming), bass, guitars, keyboards, computers and vocals himself.
He got help from some guests who has added guitar solos, violins and vocals.
Bader Nana has impressed me and others who has taken the plunge to discover neo-prog from the Middle-East. His debut tribute album to Michael Jackson is an album well worth ignoring. The other ones is good albums.
The opening minutes takes us to an intro which is not that unfamiliar to us who remember Dream Theater's intro on the Metropolis album. Nothing bad about that and Bader Nana delivers a great intro here.
Dream Theater in their most symphonic prog mood is a very good reference to this album. There is also plenty of neo-prog here.
The music is melodic with a lot of guitars and some violin. The vocals is really good too.
The end result is a very good album and one that should put Bader Nana firmly on the progressive rock map as one of the biggest talents and new artists.
3.5 points
