Quasar Lux

A hidden masterpiece from Italy (once more). After their wonderful "Abraham", Quasar Lux Symphoniae gave to prog music another beautiful stuff, plenty of rich and emotive melodies, always delicated. Both male (raw and emotive) and female (operatic and expressive) voices fit perfectly in desperated and shattering tunes, touching the listener soul and giving a feeling of majestic sadness. Music flows slowly, always in desolated landscapes. The progressive elements are mixtured with classical musicians influences. In "The Punishment of the Submerged", the forth track, are the heavier rock moments, but the whole album shows a real sense of refinement.

Written by Paolo Paroni (keyboards, piano) & Roberto Sgorlon (guitars, vocals) essentially "Abraham" is a 2 CD classically influenced symphonic prog rock musical exploring the dawn of Christianity. Musically we are transported into a multi layered symphonic landscape of shapes & colors. Quasar are a 4 piece outfit who play a highly theatrical styled classically influenced prog rock mixing many different style and forms throughout. Instrumentation is quite solid with some tasty analog sounding keyboard work standing out throughout the album much of which is tastefully classically influenced…

Quasar Lux Symphoniae performs a refined music with elaborated and successful arrangements and subtle melodic inspiration in the compositions. The Dead Dream is the first lysergic trip of Quasar L.S. (before Lux Symphoniae's majestic works), originally dated 1977, recorded again in 1995 because the original tapes were lost, with absolute respect of the original recordings. A psychedelic pearl in a concept album. A visionary and dramatic story too. Not only the psychodrama of Roxy, maybe a soundtrack and an epitaph for the death of the lysergic and hippy dream.
