Bruin. Christiaan - The Black Codex Episodes 14-26 (2015)

 

The second of four albums in this series of albums from this artist from The Netherlands.

Christiaan Bruin did the percussion, drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals here.

He had help from some guests who added violin, cello, flugelhorn, trumpet and flute.

I reviewed the first album in this series at the end of last month and I gave it a Good rating.

The Black Codex Episodes 14-26 is clocking in at one hundred minutes. That is one hour and forty minutes.

The music is again a blend of symphonic prog and neo-classical music.

Some of the music is baroque neo-classical music. Other parts are pure symphonic prog.

Some of the music is pastoral. There are some clear Johan Sebastian Bach influences here. 

There are also some good vocals here too.

This album is long and a bit of an overkill. The music is good and offers good value for money. Check out this album. Reviews of the two final albums in this series will be posted at the end of the month.
