Press Reviews Atropos Magazine, When talking about new progressive keyboardists, it is too usual to fall in the topical mention of EMERSON and WAKEMAN, the great all-time classics. Being that in the 70's there were other keyboard gods with the same prestige, if not more, than the afore mentioned. In the case of Californian BRIAN HIRSCH and his debut album, "QUEST FOR TRUTH", references could be made to the unavoidable blond wizard from YES, but also (much more) to the most symphonic side of VANGELIS in the 70's -another possible wizard for the famous band!- A self-produced concept work on similar grounds with "ALBEDO 0.39" or "HEAVEN AND HELL", using the sophisticated technology of nowadays. Melodic passages are rich with grand crescendos, frequently punctuated on the piano, growing in a pomposity (not dejective at all!) of extraordinary results. Pure unadultered symphonism. Glorious.
