FESTIVE GREETINGS folks from Antony Kalugin and Caerllysi Music with the stunning 2020 follow up to the critically acclaimed Specktra. One of the few bonuses of the cancellation of all live music since March has been the ability of a full time musician like Kalugin to kick on with both new and unfinished projects and the roots of this powerful musical statement were laid in studio recordings made during the heady Spektra and 7 sessions they have all the traditional Karfagen trademarks fabulous musicianship, great instrument interplay glorious endless melodies and woodwind accompaniment of classical elegance. Unfinished business has seen Kalugin return triumphantly to this concept even more skilled and accomplished, totally new tracks are here as well and the end product is another top quality release from our Ukrainian music maestro, a festive joy to behold.

Well, KARFAGEN has passed his passing exam again; symphonic prog where the instruments are at the party, where the rhythms and tunes are varied which also allows to develop the group, not to confine it in a retro-prog too sectarian. A fresh, varied album that shows the full range of musicians; a vintage album for the proposed climates but young for the richness of the sounds deployed; a musically rich, creative, bewitching and very rich album. There is certainly 70’s sound but updated, sound that remains avant-garde, productive, airy and innovative. Symphonic Art Rock!
