ALBUM REVIEW
This specially low priced sampler has been created as a taster for those who have not heard this critically acclaimed, classically inspired, progressive group. The creative mastermind behind Karda Estra is Richard Wileman who plays keyboards and both electric and acoustic guitars over a backdrop of strings and woodwind. Onto these layers there is often the use of a female voice used as an ethereal instrument. The track selection on this album comes from his seven previous albums and also three previously unreleased tracks. By adding these new tracks Karda Estra are providing something extra for their existing fans who would buy the release anyway. For those new to the band it is a great way to explore Karda Estra’s unique exploration of the boundaries between progressive and classical styles at a great price. (Cyclops)
