Review: The Chandrasekhar Limit (Zenit)

The Chandrasekhar Limit (Zenit)
(2013, Galileo Records / Gonzo Multimedia)
(5/5)
Everyone knows the British and Swedish schools (especially those) of rockprogressive. But ... and Switzerland?Probably not if you talk in school but that's where it comes one of the most impressive names in the old continent within this genre. It's called Zenit and despite a long career (formed in 1998), your nest egg is not very intense, and The Chandrasekar Limit only his third album, being distanced seven years of his predecessor. Plenty of time to prepare a set of great songs, let them grow and mature, probably prepared without any pressure. The result in the form of six subjects spread over about 70 minutes, is simply superb! Think of all the big names in progressive history: Pink Floyd , Yes , Genesis , Neal Morse , The Flower Kings ... Now think of all its major features and more grandiose ... The Zenit can join them all! Matrimandir , a theme of 17 minutes is one of the most sublime moments on this disc by its Indian flavor where even missing passages in Sanskrit. But already before, Awaken and PiGregohad proved crucial parts in any discography of prog rock and Cub Lady , the shortest way to the theme almost interlude, a sensual ballad. By the end there is still time for plenty instrumental rock oriented Pulsar and sensational The Daydream Suite , an epic 25 minutes that summarizes the entire disk with their keyboards solos, melodic guitars, choirs and superb complex bass lines. Chandrasekhar Limit The a disc is a must for any fan of rock progressive!

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
