Review:

Millenium is a Polish five piece formation that released their debut eponymous album in 1998, this new CD entitled Exist is already their seventh studio effort. According to the descriptions on the Internet I have the idea that Millenium have made their best album in their long existence, unfortunately I haven’t heard other albums because until a few days ago I was unaware of Millenium, shame on me!***

- The new album Exist contains four long compositions (all between 11 and 16 minutes, running time more than 50 minutes) that sound very tasteful and contain lots of flowing shifting moods and some surprising musical twists and turns like the final part of Embryo (first sparkling Grand piano, then a catchy mid-tempo), a solo on the Warr guitar during the conclusion of Up & Down, a flashy synthesizer solo in Rat Race and the sound of the vibraphone in the final track Road To Infinity. Millenium their sound is melodic, accessible and modern but I also notice hints of early Pink floyd because of the Gilmourian guitarwork (loaded with emotion and very compelling) and the warm organ sound. The colouring by the guitar and keyboards is very tastefully, along with the emotional English vocals and the frequent changing atmospheres the Millenium succeed to keep my attention, despite the long running time of the compositions. My highlight is the final song Road To Infinity: first dreamy with acoustic rhythm guitar and melancholical vocals, then lots of flowing shifting moods, halfway a wonderful part with orchestral keyboards and piano, then a splendid build-up to the final part with inspired vocals, a long and moving guitar solo (between David Gilmour and Mark Knopfler) , supported by lush organ and slow drum beats, this is Progheaven!***

- I am pleasantly surprised to discover another Polish progrock band with a very melodic and tasteful debut album featuring lots of exciting work on guitar and synthesizer!
