Chronique by Metalkiller
Voilà donc le retour du Flying Dutch ... Arjen Anthony Lucassen is back in an all new adventure with his new project GUILT MACHINE ... Hallelujah! the messiah of rock opera is back with us for the greatest happiness of all those fans present in the galaxy .... and beyond ...
Well after AEYRON projects, Star One, Ambeon, our favorite Dutchman proves once again that he is never short of ideas and inspiration and he does not hesitate to to question once again with no guarantee that its loyal audience will follow him once again ...
No more pranks megalomaniac AEYRON period, which over the album became a huge machinery and an incredible parade of rock stars more prestigious as each other. For example AEYRON have participated in projects, no less than 50 vocalists like: Anneke van Giersbergen (The Gathering), FISH, James Labrie (Dream Theater), Mike Baker (Shadow Gallery), Russell Allen (Symphony X), Timo Kotipelto (Stratovarius ) or Neal Morse ... And a good forty musicians from across the foreground as: Clive Nolan (Arena), Ken Hensley (Uriah Heep), Tomas Bodin (Flower Kings), Michael Romeo (Symphony X) Stephen van Haestregt (Within Temptation), Gary Wehrkamp (Shadow Gallery), to name a few ...
This time Anthony has been in sobriety as it gathers about its new line-up project a small but high quality. Assuring himself the bass and keyboards, they told guitars LORI Linstruth his manager and talented guitarist STREAM OF PASSION. For Battery is CHRIS MAITLAN former drummer of Porcupine Tree in it sticks .. And vocals, the revelation of the year, the young Jasper Steverlinck (Arid) . a really nice surprise this Jasper .. What class! what talent! and above what a voice! .. enchanting, pure as crystal, melodious soft and fragile both ..
Arjen A. Lucassen, we proved in the past he had an incredible talent and a perfect mastery to develop conceptual album telling stories incredibly beautiful and simple, to awaken our imaginations and touch our heart and not with ON THIS PERFECT DAY that this may change, 6 parts of this concept are absolutely inseparable and form a perfect simplicity and natural grace or dominates the album's absolute master, who once again tries to explore human nature as He alone knows to tell us ..
Without trying to innovate, experiment, or to call unduly concerned his way to compose and orchestrate these conceptual works, because this new album is the pure juice LUCASSEN immediately recognizable .. I can say that ON THIS PERFECT DAY is undoubtedly the most mature work of Arjen and having tightened the line-up has helped make his music more humane, simpler, more sensitive, more homogeneous these previous works have become too cumbersome and confusing .. because of the impressive number of talented musicians on these albums or AEYRON Star One .. not always easy to manage and sometimes heavy to digest ....
We feel the Osmosis between these musicians , forming a cohesive team, all involved in this great project .. and the result is a complete success! Between this wonderful song and beguiling, these guitars floydienne and air, the sound of keyboards single unmistakable creating that special atmosphere to the works of Lucassen ... and of course, these melodies and choruses make pests ON THIS THE PERFECT DAY ... an outstanding achievement, of great beauty that only Arjen A. LUCASSEN can offer us, ever since her first album and wonderful The Final Experiment in 1995 ..
No doubt .. LUCASSEN this vintage 2009 is a grand cru .. and proves once and for all that this exceptional artist has a knack for turning a gold everything he composes.
JUST THANK YOU! MR LUCASSEN FOR THIS WONDERFUL NEW PROJECT ... GUILT MACHINE.
