An all-time classic from the vast fields of eclectic prog that most probably will never grow old for as long as there are demanding listeners. Atabal Yemal, recorded in 1979, is a gigantic clockwork formation of perfectly synchronized small parts that melt into surreal supple space. At times, symphonically weeping woodwinds in dialogue with zeuhl at its darkest, as the surface antithesis is resolved by a strange attractor that swallows them and then leaves a trombone pondering all alone ‘what has just happened?’. At times, ferocious guitar attacks a la John Zorn, receding into a placid swan lake. This might as well be the soundtrack to a fantasy theatrical play, as it is so oneirically evocative as a multilayered impossible building with metonymic floors that refer incessantly up, down and sideways. The album has been remastered from the original tapes and includes a bonus cd with previously unreleased tracks from the Atabal Yemal 1979 recording sessions, plus live tracks and a 12-page booklet packed with original bios, photos and paraphernalia from Tempano’s 45 years in Progland. Furthermore, this edition features for the first time the very original cover that was intended for the initial Atabal Yemal release.

File nearby : Mirthrandir, Cathedral, Lift, Genesis, ELP Easter Island's self-titled 1979 masterpiece rightfully stands in the midst of the top 10 US Prog Classics. It offers an emotionally captivating experience, marked by the melodic ebb and flow that is definitive of dexterously multilayered symphonic prog, interwoven with outbursts of heavy riffs. From the lush Mellotron textures and melodic bass lines of Genius of the Dance to the heavy progression of Face-to-Face, this is an album that grows within its listeners like a benevolent virus. The highlight of the album is the 17-minutes long Alchemist’s Suite, including the oneiric sequence of Telesterion, an evocative tribal piece of percussion and electronics that radiates with s...

This is a unique blend of symphonic prog with 2 faces, equally split between the 2 sides, one with a folky edge, punctuated by aethereal pastoral vocals in an intimate dialogue with flute and violin, and another packed with wandering psychedelic guitars and side-effects. Picture Rennaissance in an interminable jam with MIA and Catharsis with Bacamarte and you might start to get a feel for this one-of-a-kind artefact. This is the fir...
