Universal (live) by Edhels

Universal is the first and the only Edhels album with a strong vocal presence throughout. But while all the vocal parts on the album are excellent, the instrumental palette of Universal is one of the strongest for the band in general. Also, if the previous Edhels opus Angel's Promise, despite the presence of a certain magic in several tracks of this album was composed mostly in the vein of Neo Progressive, all the musical structures of the new one are truly Classical. Also, in my view, Universal contains some raw yet positive power, that I previously haven't heard in their music at all. Quite diverse vocal parts were sung by Jean-Marc Bastianelli whose strong male voice sounds very appropriately on this album. Mostly hard-edged Classic Art Rock structures with just a slight fusion feel that Edhels use in the arrangements of Universal look refreshing on the contemporary Progressive scene.
