I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
Very good album indeed and on my annual top list up till now. Rare for me to enjoy modern sympho prog these days, but this release comes utterly recommended!
I just repurchased, Omphalos, Ouroboros, and Concerto for Piano and Electric Ensemble, but all 3 are in 16/44.1 resolution...NOT Hi-Res. This became immediately apparent when I started downloading them, and the file sizes of the zip files were consistent with CD quality files.

Hi. Sorry to hear that. I upload the files at higher resolutions. If you want them at 48Khz and 24 bits, send me an email to cplaza@kotebel.com and I will send you a link. Of course, for your personal use only.
I got the CD last week and have been playing it a couple of times with great joy.
The remarkable thing is that most of the tracks have been recorded live within two day, which gives the music a certain drive.
The whole album still has an early Änglagård-touch in my ears, especially because of the flute and Mellotron combined with the more rocking dynamics.
This is excellent stuff. True devotees of the symphonic genre. There are moments of absolute greatness, "do you get chills from new music? Yes, I do!". Music of great sensitivity that you don't expect to encounter in our days.
I love the production, isn't there an 80's vibe or am I mistaken? Especially the synths and the guitar sound. So good that this music never digress to the conventions of god-forsaken prog-metal!
Also, the "Spanish" elements are beautifully integrated into the music. It's not like "let's throw some flamenco in to show them the country of origin". Which could be the case with some of the bands coming from Spain.
I guess I urgently need to search their previous records now.
