Well here I am with another instrumental album that I typically do not go for. This album however is really excellent. The melodies in Nautilus Parts I and II are wonderful. The third track harkens back to the 60’s.
Ikaros has some wonderful changes.

This is one of the most accessible progressive instrumental albums out there. Nothing too difficult to wrap your ears around on first listen.

Composer Vesa Pasanen has really struck a cord with me and though I will probably not play this as much as it deserves. It does deserve to get a spin in your music player of choice.

ALBUM HIGHLIGHTS: Nautilus pt I & II, Ikaros, Heracleion
