Solid private press Symphonic Prog from Brazil, comparable to compatriots LOCH NESS, TEMPUS FUGIT, BLEZQI ZATSAZ and yet another act from the country to have a brief career in the early-90's.Topos Uranos' material sits well along the lines of 70's Symphonic Progressive, especially GENESIS, and offers elaborate and lush arrangements with sweet piano, HACKETT-ish electric guitar and some MARILLION-styled texts, atmospheric synthesizers with occasional bombastic plays.Largely instrumental with limited space for vocals, but wide enough for melodic passages, emotional patterns and flashy exercises.The CD reissue comes along with some more bonus tracks.Guitarist Arthur Nogueira ran the Projeto Caleidoscópio for some time with his wife Analu Paredes, while bassist Jorge Mathias can be seen on the 2006 Quaterna Réquiem DVD.
Independent CD/LP release. (apps79)
