Quasar Lux Symphoniae - Synopsis (2009)

The sixth and final album from this band from Italy.

The band was a nine piece big band with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards, piano, female and male vocals.

This band returned again.... with a new rock opera.

Of their six albums, four of them were rock operas. That says it all.

We get the same on this album as on Mit and the previous albums. That means melodic musicals type of songs performed by soprano and clear vocals. The guitars are clean and melodic too.

There are a lot of light symphonic prog here too. That in the British tradition and not in the Italian tradition. It is remarkable how little Italian this band always sounded. It is like they distanced themselves as far away as they could from the Italian progresissive rock sound and culture.

This fifty minutes long album, who also include a lot of clean male vocals too, has some good music and this album is their best album.

I am still not won over as this album is too sweet for my taste. There is no contrasts to all the lights on this album. No shadows.

This is barely a good album but it is still a good album.

3 points
