Annotation
The Samurai of Prog return with a new album of originals inspired by Miyazaki’s films. From pastorale to epic, this is symphonic progressive rock of a cinematic scope.
75 minutes of lush orchestration (including violin, flute, saxophone, horns, trumpets and a multitude of keyboard and guitar tones), with ringing Rickenbacker bass and wide dynamic range drums providing backbone throughout.
Featuring compositions and guest performances by
Oliviero Lacagnina (Latte e Miele), Octavio Stampalía (Jinetes Negros),
Elisa Montaldo (Il Tempio delle Clessidre), Luca Scherani (La Coscienza di Zeno), Michele Mutti (La Torre dell’Alchimista), Yuko Tomiyama, plus many more.
Mixed by the Samurai’s own Kimmo Pörsti, with a lush package designed by Ed
Unitsky. Quite possibly the band’s best album to date.
