ALBUM REVIEW
Despite the fact that "On the Hill Again" has the same distinctly original and unique sound, which was laid on the debut EJO album, there are a few of the notable differences between these works. Above all, the composite structures of this 'hill' are truly composite. They're more complex than those of a monument to Gabrielus. Now, the band refused to use the melancholically meditative shades that were present here and there on their debut album, but concentrated on the further development of their unique style. All five of the long compositions of this album: Castle of Elves, Tea Ceremony, Knightmare, Pilgrims, and On the Hill Again (tracks 1, 3, 5, 6, & 7), were created within the framework of a unified stylistics. And this stylistics is so unique that it deserves to be described in detail. So I have to tell you about all the principal constituents of it before labeling EJO as a band of some of one progressive genre. Classical Academic Music, Classic Symphonic Art-Rock, Jazz-Fusion, Avant-garde, Slavic, Eastern, pagan, and medieval tunes: all of these genres, etc, are mixed in the new music by EJO (which, of course, is a chamber ensemble rather than a Rock band)...(progressor) For further info visit the Official Homepage or one of the following websites: Rate Your Music, Prog Archives or My Space.
