More information: Attention fans of The Flower Kings, Camel, Yes, Steve Hackett, Asia, and Sylvan! With Omni, Antony Kalugin has created his most ambitious Karfagen album to date, a work that combines classic prog epics with theatrical elegance, seamlessly fitting into the tradition of the genre's great masterpieces.
The album opens with 'Omni Overture', an epic instrumental dominated by keyboards, and a musical journey unfolds, combining symphonic prog, AOR, folk, and classical theater into a unique musical experience.
Guest musicians, including the singer of Sylvan, enrich the album with additional sonic colour and take it to a new level.
The influences of The Flower Kings and Steve Hackett are omnipresent, yet Kalugin manages to maintain his own unique touch. Anyone hoping for another epic work from The Flower Kings since 'Banks Of Eden' will love Omni!
