fantasien ii 1998

MARGE LITCH is no doubt about it one of the best modern Japanese symphonic Progressive rock band. All musicians are true virtuoso of their instrument, and use this to perform a delicate music with grandiose solos in the style of TERU’S SYMPHONIA, energetic parts worth of GERARD and an instrumental style close to DREAM THEATER. "Fantasien 1998" is a transfigured version of its first album, a literal epic adventure that will impress many a listener… This majestic work is magnified by Junko SERA’s splendid soprano voice, and by the occasional help of a masculine alter ego, Tomoki UENO (A singer previously heard in OUTER LIMITS). This gives us a possibility to hear real vocal duels worth of the greatest classic opera… With respective musical accompaniment ! Some much more electric sequences are regularly attached or superposed for a truly successful result. Here is then an absolutely unique experiment, far from the numerous other trials that are carried out in the Progressive heavy-metal field. Be careful, though, to respect the prescribed amount on your prescription, given that all abuse of it will end in a both delightful and everlasting custom !
