Vortex

Act 1 (Prologue) starts off beautifully, blending excellently into Act 2, already profound in sound and structure. Nicely dramatic. It takes a breath and begins to rebuild, with a mild anguish. Lovely instrumentality in Act 3, very emotive. There is a sense to the ethereal to Act 4, almost a pleading to higher consciousness, which seems to develop into an attempt to assertiveness. A questioning of rights. Act 5 starts quite brightly and positively. A realisation that things must go on as they have to. Acceptance perhaps. Darkness seems to beset the plaintiff in Act 6. For whom the bell tolls, or rather the drum beats. Maybe it's the beating of a yearning heart. Act 7 is immediately dramatic and energetic, a sense of what is deserving. A counterpoint vocal comes into play in Act 8, maybe an idea of other effective variables coming to the fore. Act 9 seems quite positive, like a release of earthly bonds and rebirth. Lovely flowing melodies. Building to a strong though positive end piece. Act 10 features female vocals and an ensuing discussion. Love realised, or even harder unrequited. The Epilogue, Act 11, the finalisation of all that has gone on. I don't know if I have managed to align successfully with the plot, because I find working out lyrics dreadfully difficult, so I trust in my gut instinct. The last part seems to be a compromise of the efforts and traumas endured and experienced, a summation with a totally different vocal layer that seems disjointed. As if it was all a bad dream and the world goes on regardless. I enjoyed it, nice work though I could have dearly done with a script!

Es en general muy bueno, ligeros toques de gótico, pero mantiene una línea profunda, dentro del mundo new age. Vuelvo a insistir en el trasfondo clásico de éstas composiciones.....me encanta la portada, expresionista a tope.

Spinefish: à découvrir : groupe russe composé de deux chanteuse un guitariste et un clavier.

je suis de suite enchantée par leur musique, merci à mon ami SYL2Oh de m'avoir mise sur leur piste!

Une chanteuse à la voix chaude et un accompagnement musical de rêve...

L'ensemble de cet album révèle une très bonne maitrise instrumentale, et pourrait faire aimer le métal même aux plus récalcitrants!

Merveille...tout simplement.

Oui, je veux bien me perdre dans ce Vortex...qu'il mène en enfer ou au paradis! (j'opte quand même pour la 2ème alternative)

Le 8ème morceau nous fait entendre les chanteurs, et là...j'aime...ils sont BONS.

Dernier morceau: charnel, les battements de coeur, les voix, très sensuel...

Tout l'album est un régal, alors allez-y écoutez!

PS: une très belle pochette bien psychée et aux couleur superbes.

Autant vous dire que vous en entendrez encore "parler"!
