MP3 Phideaux - Doomsday Afternoon
10 MP3 Songs
ROCK: Progressive Rock, POP: Dark Wave
Details:
Here we are again... Doomsday Afternoon, our magnum opus. This art rock concept album is our first to utilize a small chamber orchestra (comprised of members of the Los Angeles Philharmonic) as well as a few special guests.
The music is essentially one long song cycle broken up into two acts. Angry, passionate, melodic, funny, pretentious, tragic with plenty of instrumental freakouts...
For those who wanted more music along the lines of "Chupacabras" this is for you. We''ve been crafting this long winded rock extravaganza for the last year and now we are happy and proud to unleash it upon the world. It is truly our "Thick As A Brick" or "Scenes From A Memory".
Continuing on from "The Great Leap" is the fantastic artwork of Molly Ruttan. Seven fantastic new paintings adorn the libretto in this opus and helps explain the story. Truly, "Doomsday Afternoon" is a feast for both eye and ear.
Embrace our dark wave of progressive music and decide where you will be on doomsday afternoon.
"Doomsday" is from now on the most elaborated Phideaux album, maybe his most beautiful as well. And when the lyrics are also meaningful… that''s the icing on the cake. So what… is it a masterpiece ? I don''t use the word often at all and only the test of time confirms that kind of statement, but "Doomsday afternoon" is certainly on the right foot to deserve that term, yes. It''s without a doubt the Album of the Year. Essential!"
Marc Moingeon Review published in KOID''9 Nr62 – Summer 2007
"Critics might now accuse Doomsday Afternoon of being overblown, pretentious and not really original at all. They may not be wrong, but I consider this masterpiece a clever piece of art, inspired by such great and unforgettable albums like The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway (Genesis), Snow Goose (Camel) and The Wall (Pink Floyd). Doomsday Afternoon is a true concept album, with a lot of thought and work having gone into a meaningful structure that most other bands these days can only dream of. Especially the last two pieces sport some organs that remind me heavily of Van der Graaf Generator, making this CD finally something like a roundtrip of Seventies prog from the UK."
