The second album from this band from Sweden.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, piano, organ, harpsichord, church organ, mellotron, synths and vocals.
A handful of guests added violin, oboe, trombone, recorder and backing vocals.
This album is clocking in at three quarters of an hour.
This album is the follow up album to the Gothic Impressions album from 1994. A good album I reviewed last month.
We get much of the same on Mundus Incompertus. A blend of symphonic prog and neo-classic music.
Gothic neo-classic music is the sub-genre explored here. Just as on the debut album, that is.
There are some female operatic vocals here and a lot of church organs. There are also some pretty hard rocking guitars here. Some parts are pretty heavy too.
There are again some ELP, Trace and Triumvirat influences here. The music is more fifty/fifty of symphonic prog and neo-classic music than most other bands in this genre.
The result is barely a good album... but still a good album. Symphonic prog fans should check out this album.
