Kenso - Fabulis Mirabilibus De Bombycosi Scriptis. 2002 Japan

After some experiments with fusion, new age, and hard rock, Kenso return to symphonic progressive form on Fabulis Mirabilibus de Bombycosi Scriptis, but blasted through the wall as if they suddenly merged with Happy Family. So the songwriting is at the same high level as Kenso II but mixed with a modern ferocity not usually associated with the group. This is an exhilarating album that is at once complex and yet heavy as hell. And melodic. The production is absolutely stellar, something that was hamstringing the group throughout their last three studio albums. If you're looking to start somewhere with Kenso, and like a little muscle to go with your romantic progressive sounds, then be sure to go with this one. A stunner.
