MAGDALENA ~ MAGDALENA MUSEA 4128 (Barcode: 3426300041821) ~ JAPAN ~ Progressive Rock Recorded: 1987Released: 1997 Only album by the superb Japanese Prog band MagdalenaFind albums by this artist, which although short-lived is considered to this day as one of the best bands that ever emerged in the country. Fronted by an incredible female vocalist Meguni TokuhisaFind albums by this artist, who has truly operatic abilities, the band is often compared to early RenaissanceFind albums by this artist. The music is richly melodic and based on Classical music motifs. With the vocalist hitting incredible high notes, some of the passages sound like arias. The instrumental parts, especially the guitar played by Taku FujiiFind albums by this artist, are excellent. The band is supported by several guest musicians from other top Japanese Prog bands, like PageantFind albums by this artist, Terra RosaFind albums by this artist and MiyatakeFind albums by this artist, active at the time. This is classic Symphonic Prog at its best and fans of the genre will have a field day with this.
