A GAZE BETWEEN THE PAST AND THE FUTURE
TARKUS
2002 , BRAZIL - EURO 13.50
Label: MUSEA
ALBUM REVIEW
This Brazilian outfit owes hardly anything to EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER ! Perfectly in line with the South-American school, "A Gaze Between The Past And The Future" (2002) is an excellent symphonic Progressive rock album, sung in perfect English. The obvious references to GENESIS and CAMEL are well present, a voluble flute and lyrical guitar parts in the foreground. As for the voice of Valdir ZAMBONI, it would be difficult not to think of Peter GABRIEL's. The six long titles (Including two covers of Rod ARGENT and DEVIL DOLL) have a little soul added, which makes them be much more than a mere imitation. This is even probably one of the most successful works in the genre in the last few years. Reissued by the Musea and Rock Symphony labels today, this opus provides a reworked booklet as well as a bonus track. This music surely stands undoubtedly at the top of today's South-American school, and thus deserves the greatest attention...
