ALBUM REVIEW
HOMER's "The Odyssey" is one of the most beautiful stories ever written. The Odyssey-like venture of the French label Musea and the Finnish fanzine Colossus was therefore bound to come across the road of the famous Greek poet of Antiquity. The triple album presented is made up of nine symphonic pieces lasting about 25 minutes each, and recorded by the most exciting gathering of international talents you may imagine: NATHAN MAHL (Canada), NEXUS (Argentina), GLASS HAMMER (United States), XII ALFONSO (France), SIMON SAYS (Sweden), CONSORZIO ACQUA POTABILE (Italy), TEMPANO (Venezuela), MINIMUM VITAL (France) and AETHER (Brasil). Jointly inspired by HOMER's masterpiece and the best works of the masters of Progressive rock, the nine bands have been able to give the best they could. Coming across the ancient spirit of YES, KING CRIMSON, PINK FLOYD and GENESIS is not scarce here, which will delight the connoisseurs. These are about four hours of symphonic rock that are absolutely essential! (Musea)
