I come back to an album released early 2018 'The Unchosen' of 'Karibow' and which appeared quite late on Spotify. 'Karibow' is the work of 'Oliver Rüsing' who for the anniversary of the 20 years of this project, came out the compositions he had not placed in the previous 4 opus except 'Plutonian' which appeared in 'Holophinium' '2016 but has been rearranged in acoustic version. So, we find again the neo-progressive style of previous albums and what is certain is that these compositions are the same level as those of these last records and it would have been a shame that the public does not benefit. As is often the case in this musical genre where the construction of titles is quite complex and mixing vocals and instrumental with changes of pace and atmosphere, it takes several listenings to tame 'The Unchosen' with each time additional discoveries, but the result shows all the quality of this artist who has a gift to make us travel in a varied and melodic progressive. In summary, 'The Unchosen' is a very nice surprise 2018 and 'Oliver Rüsing' shows once again that his project 'Karibow' is at the level of major formations of neo-progressive...
