Srdjan Brankovic is a Serbian musician who’s a very busy
man, playing guitar on, and producing, a vast number of records.
This prog rock project is fronted by singer Nokola Mijic but
does feature a number of guest female singers, including my
favourite singer on the planet, Sabine Edelsbacher from Edenbridge.
****
The music is big melodic rock, Asia. Journey, Foreigner,
Heart, with strong Ayreon and Dream Theatre influences. The
undoubted star of the show is the gorgeous duet with Sabine
on ‘The Awakening’, There are a host of guest keyboard players,
many of which will be very familiar to you, including Joost
van den Broek (After Forever), Eric Norlander (Roswell Six,
Lana Lane), Rene Merkelbach (Kingfisher Sky, Mother Earth
by Within Temptation), and Richard Andersson (Angtoria). ****
A very enjoyable listen and if you like big melodic songs
with a strong prog twist, and lots of fantastic synth solos
(and I do!) this is well worth seeking out from all the normal
outlets and the Progrock Records website.
