Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) This is a must-buy, of course. If you don't know my opinion about this unique US American band in detail yet, please refer to my comments to their albums here. This track is from a four-disc "prog all-stars" album titled "Dante's Inferno - The Divine Comedy, Part I", released back in 2008 by Musea. While this "Canto XXVI" sounds somewhat different from their albums, it's still a typical "Advent" composition in a way, exhibiting all of the superb musical properties I'm cherishing so much. And it's a welcome new interim entry in my collection of their music, since statistics tell that we've got to wait until 2024 for the next full-length release. ;-)
