Нello All!


Честно говоря, когда я доставал этот диск, я думал, что речь идёт об амнериканской группе 60-х с таким же названием... ан нет.
Это - австрийская группа 70-х.
Играют они совершенно английский прог тех времён, временами напоминают ранний Генезис. Много меллотрона. Всего 5 длиннцых композиций на часовой альбом (правда там 11-минутный бонус), психоделическая лирика.
Слушал его "в пол-уха", пару раз чем-то зацепило, но в целом - прошло, не оставив следа.
ИМХО интересно только археологам, ничего особенного там нет.

Founded in 1974 - Disbanded in 1979

KYRIE ELEISON was an Austrian symphonic rock band, founded 1974 by Gerald Krampl (keyboards) together with two school friends, Karl Novotny (drums) and Felix Rausch (guitar). The music is symphonic, progressive rock at its finest, with Mellotrons and keyboard leads, and moods ranging from quiet piano passages to walls of sound. They blended the symphonic mastery of GENESIS with the thematic aspects of VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR.

Influenced by GENESIS during its "Nursery Cryme" era, KYRIE ELEISON recorded "Blind Window's Suite" in 1975, and "The Fountain Beyond The Sunrise" in 1976. The boxed-set "The Complete Recordings 1974-1978" will also include a third CD containing 70 min. of live acts from 1974, material mostly taken from "Blind Windows" and some from "The Fountain Beyond the Sunrise", with high sound quality. All in all, this boxed-set is a great and complete discography of this underground Austrian Progressive rock band, that more or less remained an underground group until now.

The Fountain Beyond the Sunrise
Kyrie Eleison
Symphonic Prog, 1976
(c) Review by Future_Passed, PA

This album is the definition of a hidden gem. The Fountain Beyond The Sunrise came out in 1976 in Austria. This is Kyrie Eleison's debut album ( sadly ). I found this album while I was going through Austrian prog bands on this website and when I saw the album cover I was intrigued. Let me say, I was definitely not disappointed! all the tracks on this album were superb ( especially Lenny! ) From hearing this album you would think that this was a well known prog bands 3rd album. But no this is a obscure prog band from Austria's first and only album. This album is a must listen for anyone who likes symphonic prog or just prog in general.

Enjoy!
