Karnataka Secrets of Angels
Gonzo Multimedia
How
to make symphonic rock attractive to a broader poppubliek? Karnataka has the
proven formula again tested on their fifth toss with the sugar-sweet title
"Secrets of Angels. It all sounds neatly within the lines, the production is not
too bombastic thanks to contributions from an Irish topharpiste and a string
section of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
Coming
from London, the lineup of Karnataka is more international than ever. The
English enigma Hayley Griffiths is a soprano with gale force seven - hide on
time your crystal in the basement. The Italian guitarist Enrico Pinna can
especially Because
of You and the title track solo indulge. The melodic bass Welshman Ian
Jones and the thundering drums of Frenchman Jimmy Pallagrosi struts symphonic
orchestrations of the Turkish keyboard player Cagri Tozluoglu. You would almost
suspect that the EU is here with its subsidy policy behind it.
And
unfortunately, as the shelf out in the EU, so the artistic stagnation of
Karnataka is a given that you can not help but notice. The opening track Road
to Cairo may be somewhat embellished with oriental motifs, put it next to
the other tracks and everything is more or less interchangeable. Sound walls
should strongly support the sentimental vocals, but it sounds as measured and
polished that we believe there are few of.
In
defense it should be argued that the album goes on intriguing themes: seduction
and lust, secrets and betrayal, darkness and division. Nothing human is alien to
us, but the message that we can overcome these negative emotions by looking for
our inner strength and to continue the fight when all hope seems gone, our
already too much thrown to the feet.
Our
hope we finally settled on the epic final song Secrets
of Angels (about the secrets we carry in our graves). In the wake of Mostly
Autumn Karnataka aspires to a synthesis of Celtic folk and melodic prog
rock. This twenty minutes there are plenty of times when it definitely works for
a wider poppubliek. But though some of the recordings took place in Peter
Gabriel's Real World Studios, sounds Secrets of Angels' as a formula that lasts
too long. No, rather than competitor Mostly Autumn who made the arrest behind
him and now enables exciting plates.
