Phog - El Castillo (2021)

The fourth album from the one-man-band from France.

Philippe Ogier did the bass, guitars, keyboards and flute on this album.

Phillippe started this project in his love for the likes of Genesis and Camel. Influences very much evident on all his Phog albums.

El Castillo is a lot more monumental and epic than I can remember from previous Phog albums. Just a look at the cover art-work and that lovely art-work says a lot about the music here. 

The music is really dynamic here too on these fifty minutes. The music is also elegant too.

There is some good variations on this album although it never deviate from the bold, epic and elegant concept it sets out from the first couple of minutes.

The music is also complex throughout and full of interesting details.

The result is a good album and one I would recommend to everyone into symphonic prog.

3 points
