Reputedly keen on all that's related to myths and legends, the Colossus magazine has chosen its next target: Robert Louis STEVENSON's famous novel "Treasure Island". Still helped by the Musea label, Marco BERNARD and his crew involved three groups in this project, VELVET DESPERADOS (Finland), FLOATING STATE (Italy) and NEXUS (Argentina). Each band composed a 25 minutes suite with the same musical plot, but faithful to its own musical identity. As for the previous projects, Seventies sounds and instruments were favoured. These three epic-suites are brilliant and very diverse, with influences ranging from GENESIS to BANCO DEL MUTUO SOCCORSO, VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR (Especially for FLOATING STATE), CAMEL (Listening to NEXUS), EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER, PREMIATA FORNERIA MARCONI... There are a lot of contrasted atmospheres, from solemnity to contemplation, with more powerful sequences. The booklet includes summary, lyrics, photographs, pictures, as usual... A true delight for all symphonic rock lovers !
