Solitary Sandpiper Journey seventy five minutes to savour.

Will of Caerllysi Music

Dear all

At last folks you will all now be able to listen and enjoy an album I have been privileged to be involved with since its conception and which marks a significant musical statement from Karfagen.

Followers of the earlier two studio albums will not be disappointed but amazingly Antony has brought out 3 major musical statements since The Space Between Us 2007 album. i.e. The Last Horizon, The Gnomon and The Invisible Line, all of which have received great critical acclaim.

Likewise this epic sound can be heard in the progression of Karfagen who have expanded there musical direction to include some longer and more intricate tracks plus the introduction of a young Ukrainian female vocalist Marina on the vocal tracks who is destined to become a star in her own right.

Karfagen the baby of Antony and Serg have put together for me as good a mix of instrumental and vocal tracks as you will hear in 2010. So enough of my praise I think its time for you to check out the music for yourself enjoy the mp3s (below)

Happy days

Will

Antony of Karfagen

Hello to everyone!

With Great Joy here is an update for you.

As you already know, I`m working hard now on a new Karfagen album "Solitary Sandpiper Journey" and I`m happy to tell you that it`s almost ready to press!! Only few alterations here and there.

All i can say is - it will be great art-rock fairytale.

I feel something special in it, like I did when I first listend to a Camels "Snow Goose" years ago. Here are 5 tracks from the album. Hope you`ll find them interesting I know they are only in mp3 format but hopefully they will say enough for you to follow up your inital interest.

Thanks for your support.

Antony

"a highly recommended release and has effortlessly become a part of my top favourites of 2010"  Ron Fuchs -  Prognaut,   "it's a cracking piece of work. Buy with confidence". PROGMEISTER,  "a fantastic album, by a supremely talented musician who has crafted a sublime piece of symphonic prog inspired particularly by Camel and referencing the Scandinavian school but which puts its own cultural and spatial stamp on the genre".
