IQ - Subterranea (1997)



IQ su britanski neo-progressive rock bend koju je osnovao Mike Holmes 1982 posle raspada njegove grupe. IQ je jedan od malog broja britanskih bendova koji su nastali tih godina. Bend nije uzivao veliki komercijalni uspeh ali su bili verni svom progressive rock zvuku i još uvek su aktivni. Bend se gotovo uvek protivio upotrebi pojma "neo progressive" i tvrdio da imaju sirok izbor muzickih uticaja. Album je izasao 1997 godine i jedan je od mojih omiljenih albuma ovog muzickog pravca.

Martin Orford - keyboards, flute, back vocals

Jesus Christ Superstar (1970)



Kompozitor Andrew Lloyd Webber i tekstopisac Tim Rice je britanski duo, koji je da tako kazem "stvorio" rock operu "Jesus Christ Superstar". Opera je 1970 godine objavljena kao studijski album, pre nego je dozivela ekranizaciju, a poznati vokal Deep Purple-a Ian Gillan je dobio zadatak da otepeva deonice namenjene Isusu iz Nazareta. U to vreme je ovakav poduhvat bio ne samo izazovan nego i nadasve hrabar, ali je definitivno promenio tokove rok muzike. Prvo izvodjenje opera je dozivela na Brodveju 1971. a 1973. je konacno snimljen film.

Ovde mozete saznati vise detalja o samoj operi:

Leonardo - The Absolute Man (2001)



Radi se o rok operi izdavacke kuce "Magna Carta" i Pete Morticelli-ja a komponovanje je povereno je vrlo sposobnom muzicaru Trent Gardner-u (Magellan i Explorer's Club). Za nekoliko godina, Gardner je napisao i producirao ovaj masivan projekt a sama muzika je mesavina filmskog progressive rocka, simfonijskog rocka, popa i progresivnog metala, a sve to skupa krasi atmosvera scenske muzike. Na albumu dominira raznolikost talenovanihh pevaca. Glavni lik, Leonardo, dat je James LaBrie ( Dream Theater) . James je po mom misljenju, pevao kao ni na jednom albumu maticnog benda, ali naravno za svo vreme snimanja on je isao na obuku kod poznatog profesora operskog pevanja i stvarno je sebe nadmasio. Ovo je samo uvod u jedni fantasticnu pricu koja se moze doziveti na razne nacine u zavisnosti od senzibiliteta slusaoca. Ja sam inace veliki kolekcionar rock opera, a ima ih prilican broj i nisu bas predstavljene na pravi nacin.

James Labrie (Dream Theater)
Ser Peiro da Vinci - Davey Pattison (Gamma)
Caterina - Michelle Young (solo)

Lind Erebros - Elven Oratory - Rebirth Of Light (2009)



Na sajtu Lind Erebros-a a vezano za ovo izdanje pise: "Dobrodosao strance, ja sam Lind - bard magicne zemlje. Uz duga lutanja video sam cudesna mesta, tajanstvene doline, oblacne vrhove, beskrajna polja i zelenila beskrajnih stepa. Video sam razlicite ljude: vesele i tuzne, plemenite i lukave, jake i slabe. Video sam njihovo postenje, zlobu, ocaj, jacinu... Medjutim, u svim velikim dogadjajima i svetovima samo jedna stvar je dala pravi osecaj mom srcu - muzika. Odlucio sam da ceo svoj zivot posvetim ovoj tajni i kroz nu da podelim svoja osecanja sa svetom. To je osecanje koje znaci ziveti. Muzika je jezik duse. Muzika je moj svet. Svet svetlosti i inspiracije i moja magicna zemlja.

Samo izdanje je mesavina lakih, baladskih, gitarskih deonica, povezanih sa horskim pevanjem ( Boljsoj Akademski Hor ) i sinfonijskim orkestrom. Sve skupa predstavlja jednu epsku fantaziju, zasnovanu na Tolkinovoj knizi "Silmarilion". Uprkos koriscenju tehnike autor nije zeleo da radi nesto arhaicno i tesko. Zeleo je da ozivi svet magije kroz klavir i violinu koji u vecini numera vode "glavnu rec" a orkestralno horske pratnje su nekako postavljene u zadnji plan sto je uglavnom osnova rock opere. Ipak mislim da ni slusaoci klasicne muzike nece ostati razocarani.

Lucifer Was & Kristiansand Symphony Orchestra - The Crown Of Creation (2010)



Za ljubitelj rock opere koji vole slusati mesanje bogatih tekstura klasicne muzike uz simfonijski orkestar i rock bend, ovo je pravo izdanje. Muzika na momente podseca na "Black Sabath" "Uriah Heep" " Jethro Tull" i "Deep Purple" , ali to je valjda dovoljna preporuka da je poslusate. Cucete virtuozno odsviranu flautu i izuzetno melodicne vokale, sto je svojstveno rock operama, ali za moj pojam ima malo gitarskih delova iako se na izdanju pojavljuju trojica gitarista, sto je malo cudno...Naglasak je u potpunosti na simfonijskom orkestru i violinama. Muzika se menja izmedju klasike i polu-teskog rocka, a ponekad i balada, ali sve to dovodi do najviseg kvaliteta. Simfonijski orkestar je bila brilijantna ideja a Jan Stigmer sa violinom igra vrlo vaznu ulogu na ovom albumu. Inace radi se o Norveskom bendu, cija izdanja su sastavni deo poetskog ciklusa koji govorio padu andjela Lucifera, a ovaj CD govori o postanku i o tome sta dolazi posle smrti.

Phideaux - Number Seven (2009)



Ovo je metaforicka prica o borbi glodara i rakova, a u pitanji je tema o ekologiji. Dakle, jos jednom je Phideaux Xavier (gitara, klavir, vokal) okruzen sa ozbiljno talentntovanom grupom pevaca i muzicara koji mu pomazu da ovo muzicko delo priblize slusaocu. Broj sedam se sastoji od sesnaest pesama podeljenih u tri dela. Obzirom da je prica iz prirode Phideaux je ukljucio sest musko-zenskih vokala, koji prave sjajan sklad. Ovu muziku je po prirodi vrlo lako slusati, a ipak je prilicno slozena sa sirokim asortimanom instrumentalnih medjuigara. Muzika krece od jednog muzickog raspolozenja na drugi gotovo neprimetno. Na ovom albumu Phideaux koristi keltsko teme koje me podsjecaju na Mike Oldfield-a ,iako se mora reci da jebroj sedam daleko vise od toga. Ali, ako volite muziku koja ima jak akusticni temelj, poput ranih Genesis, ovo izdanje ono pravo za vas. Fanovi sigurno nece biti razocarani.

Razlozi zasto volim Phideaux brojni su i da budem iskren, jos uviek nisu u potpunosti istrazeni. Cinjenica je, medjutim, da sto sam stariji sve vise uvazavam ovaj muzicki stil. Slusajuci ovaj album brzo cete pronaci nesto sto niste culi pre. Neki ambijentalni zvuk, cool saksofon, zvuk violine i violoncela pomalo neprimetan, par neobicnih ritmova, a pogotovo vokale koji zvuce posebno. To su detalji koje cete primjecivati svaki put kada slusate ovaj album. I stalno cete cuti nesto novo.

Oni koji poznaju Phideaux volece ovaj album. Oni koji ga ne poznaju ce se verovatno misliti da je neumoljiv, tezak, pretrpani detaljima... a to ce zavisiti od toga kakav ste slusalac. Ja visoko ocenjujem ovaj album i toplo ga preporucujem.
