Attila Kollar was the x-factor in Solaris, and his flute playing and melodic structure is what made that band so special. His next venture - working under the band name Musical Witchcraft - is very similar. At first the all-instrumental album sounded too familiar and a bit stilted, but as the disc goes on, Kollar manages to rise to the occasion and add interesting thematic developments, including easy listening / cocktail jazz. The music possesses an uncommon warmth. A gifted composer, Musical Witchcraft provided the audience with the next generation of Solaris as the group had splintered by then. Very much recommended to Solaris fans, or the groups that influenced them such as Camel and Rousseau.
