Amadeus Awad's "Time of the Equinox" is truely a piece of art.
This album brings back guitarist virtuosity in a different way.
Reflecting back to the virtuosos of the early 80's majority of guitarist
back then it was all flash and no melody and more about showing off then
song writing. I think Amadeus Awad, being from a different country,
brings a different vibe to progressive rock.
This is how Amadeus describes his own album:
"The Universe is all about Harmony and Balance.
Yet what is the latter without paradox.
Under one phenomenon, the Sun and the Moon,
the sunrise and the sunset , equate.
The night becomes the day lights' refracting mirror.
The night becomes a bed of colors.
"Time Of The Equinox" is the musical incarnation
- The Universe in sounds and poetry.
An "Oeuvre" of diverse styles that meet
in the strangest manners"
And the songs are truly that plain poetry. He tells a very personal
message with his songs. With styles similar to Joe Satriani and
Pink Floyd it is a very mature album. I have to admit when i first
heard of Amadeus I was kinda of skeptical about his playing.
Unit i actually heard his playing. Songs like The Origins of Light and
Meteors in the Blue and it was definitely a fresh sound that i hadn't
heard before. I have to thank Amadeus for letting me listen to this album.
Maybe even finding another favorite guitar hero.
