Our Take

RYO OKUMOTO: The Myth Of The Mostrophus (Limited Edition) (Digi)

In this limited edition digipak release, keyboard wizard Ryo Okumoto takes listeners on a sonic journey through the mythical realm of the Mostrophus. Known for his work with progressive rock titans Spock's Beard, Okumoto showcases his masterful musicianship and knack for storytelling on this mesmerising album.

From the epic opener "The Quest for the Lost Feather" to the hauntingly beautiful "Siren's Lullaby," Okumoto weaves a tapestry of sound that transports the listener to a fantastical world full of intrigue and mystery. The intricate arrangements and soaring melodies are reminiscent of 70s prog rock legends like Yes and Genesis, but with a modern twist that keeps things fresh and exciting.

The standout track on the album has to be "The Ballad of the Mostrophus," a sprawling 10-minute epic that showcases Okumoto's virtuosity on the keys and his gift for crafting unforgettable melodies. The song builds and builds, taking the listener on an emotional rollercoaster ride that is equal parts exhilarating and heartbreaking.

Overall, The Myth Of The Mostrophus is a triumph for Ryo Okumoto, proving once again why he is considered one of the greatest keyboard players in the business. This limited edition digipak is a must-have for any fan of progressive rock or anyone looking to be transported to another world through the power of music. Don't miss out on this musical masterpiece.
