In a little over a year, Sky Architect imposed
its progressive rock signing through two albums references.Maintaining a high
write rate, the Dutch returned with an "A Billion Years Of Solitude" whose
cover, very close to that of "A Dying Man's Hymn", suggests that this new album
is a continuation of previous inspiration from science fiction and more.
On the space-rock dimension doubt, hyperactive
quintet literally invested in this environment that surrounds much of the
disc. The introduction of more than three minutes the aptly named 'The Curious
One' sounds like the soundtrack of a "2101-The Voyage of the Cosmos" with this
suffocating atmosphere and the eerie sound effects.Architect
Sky revives very long pieces but unlike 'Deep Chasm' travel is stirred
and stunning, mainly because of its convoluted structure and its dark tone. The
piece develops a theme song to identically repeated and interspersed with wide
dynamic atmospheric or instrumental sequences. If Sky
Architect shows boldness in the way of architecting this imposing title
remains timid in melodies and vocal harmonies rather easy not at the old
compositions.
The Dutch are more inspired and familiar in
short pieces of "A Billion Years Of Solitude" as' wormholes', 'Tides' or too
short instrumental' Jim's Ride To Hell. The heavy-prog psychedelic and
space-rock resume cohabitation in the beautiful 'Elegy Of A Solitary Giant' and
crazy 'Revolutions' (which proves, even if the demonstration is more to do, the
technical ease of young Batavian) but this time the balance and cohesion among a
much richer vocals and diverse instrumental passages are controlled. Final Album
'Traveler's Last Candle is a chiaroscuro jubilant and virtuosic form of a
looping ethereal atmospheric sequences and powerful projections and convulsed,
punctuated by a great chorus Wabe Wieringa.
The first piece of "A Billion Years Of Solitude"
does not facilitate immersion in this production, again dense and complex. The
abandonment of jazz and Latin elements, providers of life-saving fresh for
listening, reinforces the gravity and the opacity rule over the entire
disk. More than for "Excavations Of The Mind" and "A Dying Man's Hymn" the
auditor will be patient before they totally abandon this challenging and
exciting work. More information on http://www. skyarchitect.com
