  | MAGIC PIE ~ CIRCUS OF LIFE
PROGRESS 024 (Barcode: 7320470082683) ~ NORWAY ~ Progressive Rock
Recorded: 2007 Released: 2007
This is the 2nd album by the excellent Norwegian Prog band Magic PieFind albums by this artist. The band is a sextet, with the usual guitar / keyboards / bass / drums lineup, fronted by two lead vocalists, which enables them to use a lot of vocal harmonies. The music is beautifully melodic and the long tracks allow for extended instrumental passages, which are executed elegantly and with a lot of passion. In some respect the band is similar to the Swedish band The Flower KingsFind albums by this artist, at their best, but manages to avoid being repetitious and excessive, like the FK often are. The title track is a five-part suite lasting almost 50 minutes. This is a very impressive follow up to their great debut and another example of the Scandinavian Prog, which rarely disappoints. A must to classic Prog lovers!
