Adagio

Ken,
absolutely loved Adagio 'Underworld'--especially those keyboards :>. How would you compare their other releases?
Thanks

Sanctus Ignis is more like Underworld just not quite as elaborate (Underworld had the benefit of being their second album...bigger budget). Dominate brings in a new singer who introduces some occassional death style growls and the overt neoclassical influences are not nearly as prominent. So it's a change of direction but still very tasty. Frankly I'm not sure they needed to make another Underworld. Nice to see them stretching out a bit.

Oh yeah...the keyboards...Kevin Codfert, the keyboardist for Adagio, is also playing with Venturia. Now that's a killer disc!
