I do not often happen to run into an album for some reason "hard" but this is definitely a case among those. A Billion Years of Solitude is the third effort of Sky Architect and even before decantarne I must point out strengths and weaknesses as they are the authors of music interesting but definitely not very malleable.
For those who do not know them, usually wanting to try capturing them in a genre, it can indicate their proposal as heavy prog , where the obvious progressive influences are often accompanied by a clear weighting of the sound.
The quintet of Rotterdam as I mentioned Arriving in the third round, often regarded as the decisive one, so far three outputs every two years which I believe have denoted a progressive and constant maturity, provided that their music needs to listen to "dedicated".Änglagård , Pain Of Salvation and The Flower Kings on the one hand, King Crimson and Yes as an 'other, these are the muses that I feel most alive in the proposal from the Dutch band. Try ideally mixed together these different inputs can already provide a track, even if in principle, articulated and complex than are their sounds, then you will find great technique and a predisposition towards song writing full-bodied and challenging, good command nell'arrangiare and "decorate" the sound.
The training, solid and stable, he sees Tom Luchies (vocals and guitar), Wabe Wieringa (guitar), Guus van Mierlo (bass), Christiaan Bruin (drums), the endless keyboards and horns of Rik van Honk.
A Billion Years of Solitude is published by Galileo Records, an hour of music punctuated by seven tracks, three of which (one in particular) quite long. The story is inspired by science fiction in vogue among. 50s and 60s, in the future of a galaxy profoundly changed.
It 'just the suite The Curious One (18 minutes) to take the lead with a long introduction shaggy and almost noise of about three minutes. Atmosphere space rock that gradually gives way to the first of a guitar arpeggio and then the painful voice of Tom Luchies . Warm tones and suffused, pastel shades which are subsequently deleted from a total change of scenery sound, the plot thickens, the drumming moves to shots of continuous variations, the low van Mierlo carves out space with decisive lines dark and massive. The keyboards (mellotron all) give an additional aura of drama and then the sound is distorted guitar to call to Fripp , before the grand finale that is to latch on to the opening theme.
Wormholes (The Inevitable Collapse Of The Large Hadron Collider) is presented immediately with sounds angular, sharp, great rhythm and speed of execution in the face of anything but simple steps. If you are musically almost flawless Sky Architect lacking a little in my opinion, in the voice of Luchies , often monotonous.
Another good episode Tides , short but very intense with a good melody, harmony and proper that on this occasion the singer comes out better, maybe less compressed by the amount of sound that is still not indifferent.
Another long moment is represented by Elegy Of A Solitary Giant , more than any other piece that I believe needs attention. Little or no concession to easy listening, a picture full of details and nuances of the understanding of which can not be instantaneous nor relegated because he leaves the overall meaning of the song.
Very short, Jim's Ride To Hell has the advantage of possessing a strength and an incredible charge, bass and drums draw trajectories impossible, "escaping" the control of the guitar and keyboards.
Revolutions continues in some way the discourse of Elegy, making it softer then with an insert slightly soft and melodic. The second part opens up more, while showing still a close fight between one side and the rhythm guitar, keyboards and vocals on the other.
Traveller's Last Candle , another block of granite, complete and closes the work. The presence of vocal takes off, gloomy and ominous atmosphere hovers between the notes for the first few minutes to the entrance of a different feeling, more relaxed. An abrupt departure, like a torn veil, from the street to the second part, complex and rough at first and then more direct and immediate thanks to the work of the guitar really valuable. Final again, convulsively, takes the initial coordinates.
Sky Architect with their new album is confirmed as one of the bands more details and, if you will, introverted of the current scene. A Billion Years of Solitude is revealed at the end as their best work, innervated excellent technique and a judicious mix of intuitions, past and present, and the result is a CD certainly interesting and worthy of note but, as mentioned, is not very intuitive and takes time to be assimilated.
