Macky Ar - Rivers Apart (2026)

 

The eight album from this band from India.

Macky Ar is a one-man-band where Mahesh Arora does the guitars, synths, programming and some vocals. 

Mahesh got help from two guests who added guitars and vocals on a couple of tracks.

I have reviewed the first five Macky Ar albums in # 3 and this issue of this blog. His albums have improved a lot since the debut album. So when this album popped up in my inbox, I had no hesitations in adding it to my long to-be-reviewed list.

Rivers Apart is clocking in at just short of one hour and five minutes.

The music here is in the same style as on his first seven albums. That means melodic symphonic prog.

The music is pretty epic throughout. The music is not particular complex due to this being a one-man-band. That band format comes with some strict limits. 

The music is therefore more melodic and it has some good latter days Pink Floyd vibes throughout.

The vocals is pretty good and the music is good. Macky Ar/Mahesh Arora has finally arrived.
