Ankh

"... bedzie tajemnica"

(Rock Symphony - 1999 - 61:16)

That fantastic it turns out to continue discovering bands that literally fly our head". This is the case of the Poles of Ankh and their last disk "... bedzie tajemnica", superb demonstration of quality and of how starting from a root you can progress toward an absolutely original sound (and rolling, in Ankh)

And as classifying the music of this band? , it is certainly difficult, it is here but that never advisable to be allowed to take for this work marvel; nevertheless one can say that it is a peculiar mixture that is born of a root "crimsonian", seasoned with great power, a sublime violin, without being exempt of subtlety and "melody".

The sound Ankh is paradoxical, very modern without stopping to be classic, part of "Crimson" without stopping to be absolutely own, very worked and intricate without stopping to be melodious or more accessible...

The disk consists of four suites of more than ten minutes of duration, replete of beauty, where miscible all he is made previously expressed, impossible and unjust to notice some since they are four superb pieces, until the pearl that is in the beginning of third o'clock, an impeccable version (non cover = notices for note) of the "21st Century's Schizoid Man", anthological.

All the excellent musicians, but it is need to make a separated in the fabulous violinist Michat Jelonek, without place to doubts a virtuoso and brilliant artist, in the widest sense in the term.

One taken care of edition of the CD, pictures and internal book (including lyrical in Pole), in a group that takes us to say, of disk and band, of the best thing that we have listened lately.

Indispensable.
