Sunchild - Exotic Creatures and a Stolen Dream (2023)

The 8th album from this band from Ukraina.

The band was a ten piece band with a lineup of drums, bass, percussion, guitars, accordion, keyboards, saxophones, vocoder and vocals.

A guitarist added two solos to the first piece of music on this album.

Two pieces of music... The first one is half an hour long and the second one is one quarter of an hour long. OK, three quarters of an hour with the usual neo-classical music.

Wrong !!!

Yes, the two pieces of music is long. But they also got a lot of vocals and the music is indeed symphonic prog. 

Both Genesis and in particular Yes is a good reference here. Ditto for some of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals.

The music is really complex throughout. It is also a melodic and the music is collection of good melody lines who has been merged together.

The result is a great album and one of Antony Kalugin's best albums. He is a maestro and this album proves that.

This is an album which will bring joy anyone into symphonic prog.

4 points
