Art Rock Show – Trinity (Week 50)

Electric Asturias, en laat de naam u niet misleiden, is een Japans muzikaal project rond multi-instrumentalist en componist Yoh Ohyama. Naast laastgenoemde maken Satoshi Hirata (gitaar), Tei Sena (viool), Yoshihiro Kawagoe (toetsen) en Kiyotaka Tanabe (drums) deel uit van de groep.

Prog Archives review: “Japanese project Asturias has had an unpredictable history, initially forming around multi-instrumentalist and composer Yoh Ohyama in the late Eighties, with a reworked line-up appearing about fifteen years ago. Since that comeback in 2003, the predominantly instrumental group jumps between `Acoustic’ and `Electric’ Asturias discs, and like other bands from the same country – Ain Soph and Ptf instantly come to mind – the band/s combine a symphonic grandiosity with the dynamic fire of jazz/fusion, and their latest work under the `Electric’ banner, 2019’s `Trinity’ offers violin and piano constantly met with electric guitar and keyboard colour, all delivered with a cracking energy, nuanced emotion and supreme technical musical precision. (..)

Trinity’s cultured approach to often adapting classic literature and art means it always remains evocative and sophisticated, and the album remains endlessly melodic at all times without ever sacrificing technicality and ambitiousness. Trinity’ is dramatic and intelligent instrumental music at its very finest, and is not only the third stunning Electric Asturias work to date, but already one of the standout progressive music releases of 2019.

Five stars.”
