*. Little Tragedies .*

Album: At Nights (2014)(Recorded 2011-2012)
Genre: Prog Rock (Symphonic Prog)  /  Russia

A Russian band including a variable number of musicians, LITTLE TRAGEDIES was born from the will of composer and musician Gennady ILYIN to experiment new musical expression forms. More particularly, his art could be described as an hybrid mixture of Seventies-like Progressive rock, fusion jazz-rock and contemporary classical musics. The whole thing played through vintage keyboards reminding of the Seventies, but especially with an obvious Slavonic personality. Released in 2005 by the Musea label, "Return" is the third and certainly the best work of LITTLE TRAGEDIES. Like the previous albums, the latter was inspired by poems of Nicolai GUMILEV and sung in Russian. The eleven titles have a style close to that of EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER, with an impressive musical virtuosity and a strong originality. Here is a fantastic concept-album of powerful neo-classical rock, rich in diversity and intensity, filled with feverish and enthusiast instrumental sequences. In order to celebrate its twenty years of existence under its name (It was PARADOX from 1988 to 1994), LITTLE TRAGEDIES offers today its twelfth studio album... No less ! Published in the year 2014 on the Musea label, "At Nights" still pays hommage to the russian tongue and culture, polishing its mixture with occidental Progressive rock even further. And here comes another true achievement for LITTLE TRAGEDIES ! (www.amazon.com)
