7 Samurai - The Ultimate Epic (CD)
Due to the great demand, Colossus (The Finnish Progressive Music Association) and Musea proudly present their new progressive rock epic, succeeding to Kalevala, The Spaghetti Epic, the Colossus Of Rhodes...: THE SEVEN SAMURAI "The Ultimate Epic"! The intention is to publish a progressive rock concept album inspired by the famous film by Akira Kurosawa called "The 7 Samurais" (1954). The story has been divided in 3 chapters same as the number of bands participating, each band has chosen one chapter and will make a suite inspired by it. TEMPANO (Venezuela), CAP and TAPROBAN (Italy). The total length of each suite is around 25 minutes. The sound remains faithful to 70's progressive music: original 70's keyboards (Hammond, Moog, Mellotron, Fender Rhodes, Grand Piano etc.) are preferred, and the bands avoid loops, drum machines or other 80's - 90's digital sounds. Tempano, CAP and TAPROBAN have composed three magnificent progressive suites, reminding all the seventies masters, like GENESIS and JETHRO TULL for TEMPANO, BANCO or KING CRIMSON for CAP, ELP for TAPROBAN, among many other influences. But each piece is also faithful to each band's style and personality. Brilliant !
