  | LOST WORLD ~ AWAKENING OF THE ELEMENTS
MUSEA 4695 (Barcode: 3426300046956) ~ RUSSIA ~ Progressive Rock
Recorded: 2006 Released: 2006
2nd album by the Russian Prog trio Lost World. Formed in the early 1990s, the group consist of Vassily SolovievFind albums by this artist (flute & percussion), Andrii DidorenkoFind albums by this artist (guitars, bass & violins) and Alexander AkimovFind albums by this artist (keyboards & percussion). All the musicians are well schooled and highly skilled and playing a wide array of instruments between themselves enables them to create highly complex and dense sound vistas.
Although they released several informal albums over the years, the first formal album was released in 2003 (TrajectoriesFind albums with this title) and this is a most anticipated follow up. Didorenko composed all the music except one track, which is an adaptation of a Dmitri ShostakovichFind albums by this artist chamber piece.
The entire atmosphere of the album can be described as electric Chamber music, typical of Easter European Prog, which is deeply rooted in the classical tradition. This is fascinating stuff, which requires repetitive listening to be truly appreciated, but hold many intricate gems and wonderful musical ideas. Highly recommended!
