With his words 'I need to draw a sheep' (see Here), 'Cyril Mokaiesh' was certainly heard by 'Ryszard Kramarski' who just released a first solo album on the theme of 'The Little Prince'. Ryszard is known from the progressive scene because he participated in several projects with, among others, the 'Millenium' band whose last opus dates from 2014. 8 titles in total divided into 2 parts 'Somewhere in the universe' and 'Somewhere on the Earth', we find the main episodes of the 'Saint-Exupery' story. On the music side, we are in a register between atmospheric rock and symphonic rock and we could compare style to a meeting between 'Pink-Floyd' for instrumental parts and groups like 'Karnataka' (see Last Album) or 'Mostly-Autumn' (see Last Album) for the vocal parts. For his project Ryszard has surrounded himself with artists from the progressive Polish scene, including Karolina Leszko, who recalls the singers of the above-mentioned groups 'Hayley Griffiths' or 'Olivia Sparnenn'. To summarize, for this first solo album that was expected for years, 'Ryszard Kramarski' hits hard and offers us a jewel of progressive melodic rock which should be enthroned in very good place in the perfact music collection of any amateur of this style... | |
