  | OSIRIS ~ MYTHS & LEGENDS
MUSEA 4161 (Barcode: 3426300041616) ~ BAHRAIN ~ Progressive Rock
Recorded: 1984 - 1985 Released: 1995
2nd album by the Prog band OsirisFind albums by this artist from Bahrain, a tiny country in the Persian Gulf, which normally is not associated with any Prog activity. Following the release of their debut eponymous album, the band led by brothers Mohamed Al-SadeqiFind albums by this artist (guitars and vocals) and Nabil Al-SadeqiFind albums by this artist (drums) regrouped with new members and recorded this album as a great follow up to their debut. The music is again classic Symphonic Prog, with beautiful melodies and long instrumental passages. The vocals (in English) are sparse and the emphasis is on the instrumental performances. Firmly based on the tradition set up by classic 1970s bands like GenesisFind albums by this artist and CamelFind albums by this artist, the music is completely original and well-developed, with the usual multi-thematic long compositions and frequent tempo changes. This album aged well and is completely relevant today, losing none of its original charm. Highly recommended!

  | OSIRIS ~ OSIRIS
MUSEA 4160 (Barcode: 3426300041609) ~ BAHRAIN ~ Progressive Rock
Recorded: 1982 Released: 1997
1st album by Prog group OsirisFind albums by this artist from Bahrain, a tiny country in the Persian Gulf, and the first Prog album to be released in that part of the world. Formed in 1980 by brothers Mohamed Al-SadeqiFind albums by this artist (guitars and vocals) and Nabil Al-SadeqiFind albums by this artist (drums), who were exposed to western Rock music from early childhood and later discovered Progressive Rock. They decided to compose their own music, based on the Prog model, and soon found several other local musicians to join them, recording this debut album two years later. The music is a classic example of Symphonic Prog, with beautiful melodies and lengthy tracks, with extended instrumental improvisations. The vocals (in English) are scarce and definitely less significant. The overall level of musicianship, performance and composition is excellent and Prog fans worldwide warmly received the album as one of the most promising debut releases at the time. Recommended!
