Comment
On Fear Jabberwocky, my son!
He is so fierce and Dick,
And muffled rymit giant -
Zlopastny Brandashmyg!
(Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland," trans. DG Orel)
It is this "Jabberwocky" and is devoted to this conceptual opus duo keyboardists: the representative of another dynasty Wakeman - Oliver and replay in the mass of the neo-progressive groups Clive Nolan.
Oliver Wakeman - son of the great keyboardist Rick Wakeman and the same keyboard. His debut album "Heaven's Isle" was released in 1998 and was largely sustained in the manner of his father. His older brother Adam started his creative life, much earlier and has already recorded several albums, both with his father and separately.
father's influence is obvious and here, the keys are very similar to the recent creation of Rick Wakeman: generally quite affordable, but with a twist. Quite a few keyboard passages differ not only skill (this is in Wakeman, Yes and Nolan did not take away), but also beauty. The main difference from the works of Rick is in full use guitar sound. True Peter Banks did not particularly manifested itself, and indeed as part of Yes.
Another feature of the disk is to use the votes four vocalists. While pop songs like "Glimmer Of Light" performed by Tracy Hitchings clearly not benefited the general atmosphere of "Jabberwocky." Her voice is "breathy" does not correspond to the traditions of progressive rock. But the choral pieces have turned out very well and convey the epic nature of the music quite clearly.
very successfully used the voice of Wakeman, Sr., reading the original text of the Jabberwocky throughout the album. Here is how it speaks Oliver: "Father was invited to participate as a storyteller, not only because he has a great voice vote (I remember him telling us stories of Adam, when we were children), but also because we thought that would be great to bring the father to our work, but that he did not play the keyboards.
overall style myzyki "Jabberwocky" fits the definition of "neo-progressive." "Neo" because not too complex themes and arrangements. Some songs are sung to build and well suited to scroll through the radio (and I do not think it's worth the progressive rock). Although, in general, the disk was obviously better than I expected. It is possible that it would be nice to listen not only to lovers of neo.
For those few who have not read Lewis Carroll's brief to inform the story: a young knight in a thicket of dark wood kills the monster - Jabberwocky. This fact is vividly reflected in the magnificent cover of Rodney Mathews (Rodney Matthews). In general, the classic fantasy plot. And with the transfer of fantasy mood myzykanty coped well, the album got even more fabulous than the work itself Carroll. But since just as it is, the album is rather funny and sometimes majestic than gloomy.
Incidentally another interesting fact: the plot of "Jabberwocky" in England, directed by Terry Gilliam (A member of the famous comedian of Monthy Python) was filmed. Read more about this site "Films Terry Gilliam's" .
