The city and the stars

DIASP, a huge metropolis of the future. A superciviltà reach the ultimate stage of development. A desert planet, hostile, "forbidden" It is against this background that moves Alvin, the young hero of this novel, which remains among the most famous of Clarke. The question that haunts him is: how to discover the ancient secrets of the human race? How to get out of the maze under glass and return to space flight?

The idea of \u200b\u200bThe City and the Stars is ambition calculatedly neutral: do not go in the future, but at a time so distant that the future of science fiction looks like ordinary remote past, to which we must not be nostalgic. The man, after millions of years of battles, built an artificial world hath been closed: the world is called DIASP, even where there is no death and no more children, regulations, program, secure by a large central computer, built from intelligence higher a few million years ago ...

Magnification - Yes (2001)


Again, Yes. What? What in Magnification no keyboard? No matter. An orchestra is responsible is replaced masterfully this landmark instrument in the race Yes and Rick Wakeman refused to play on this album. What do not trust the Yes XXI century because what they did at the end of the previous century (with the exception of The Ladder , which is again a good job) I did lose faith in them? Then I recommend you listen to this wonder to see the light again.

Again we find complex compositions and pomposity by four sides. Does not come, obviously, the level of its greatest masterpieces of the '70s, but it is much better than many Neo-Prog jobs in any of its forms.

Recomendadísimo.

So the story is told in alternating chapters from the point of view of her and him, the perspective changes, and change the perceptions, feelings in the game, thoughts, questions unanswered.

The girl who saved the books

was nine years that Liesel began his brilliant career as a thief. Sure, he was hungry and stealing apples, but what he cared about were the books really, and rather than steal them saved. The first was dropped in the snow beside the tomb where he had just buried his brother. They were going to Molching, near Monaco, where they were waiting for their adoptive parents. The second one took him out to fire one of the many fires lit by the Nazis. They liked to burn everything: houses, shops, synagogues, people ... Slowly, over time they picked up a fortnight, and when he gave his story to the paper when asked just the written word had begun to mean not only something, but everything. Maybe it happened when he saw for the first time the library of the mayor's wife, an entire room filled with books? When he got in his way, Max Vandenburg, a former boxer wrestler but still, carrying the "Mein Kampf" and endless suffering? When he began to read for others in the bomb shelters? When slipped into a column of Jews on their way to Dachau? But perhaps these questions were idle, and what really mattered was the chain of pages that linked many people labeled as Jewish, Aryan or subversive, and instead were only poor creatures tied by ghosts, secrets and silences.

The Human Equation - Ayreon (2004)


Arjen Lucassen is one of those privileged few who have an innate talent for music. So much so that, having received a single training (mostly self-taught), is able to play with virtuosity amazing variety of instruments, as well as write and compose a work of incredible beauty The Human Equation. Arjen Lucassen Ayreon is .

This work is a Rock Opera with a capital, a drama with characters of all kinds each embodied by a different guest vocalist, most notably James LaBrie of Dream Theater and Mikael Åkerfeldt of Opeth . But it does not stop there: among the guest musicians are nothing less than Ken Hensley of Uriah Heep to Hammond, Oliver Wakeman (son of Rick Wakeman , which left its name) on keyboards, and many others who bring their no small part to build with love and care this masterpiece.

begins with the main character (James LaBrie ) in a coma after an accident. With him in the room are his best friend (Arjen Lucassen ) and his wife (Marcela Bovio of Elfonía ). The protagonist develops a whole inner world in which emotions and thoughts (Ira the Love , the Pride The Reason ...) take shape and interact with him listening, speaking, confusing and fight until we get to see things clearly and be a man again. Throughout this journey, the character faces his own past, old fears and traumas that have to overcome, while the exterior is rather the concern of his expectant wife and best friend, who did not leave in any time.

The album is divided into 20 sections, and correspond to the 20 days that the player remains in a coma.

Musically it is a work rich in nuances, in which each character has its own personality (the great voices here take part in charge of it) and creates its own atmosphere, building a world of sensations as they interact. We have strong pieces, more modest, playful, tense, dreamlike, romantic ... a wide range of sensations for everyone.

PD: The Best Music has published a list of the 25 best songs of the history of Rock , in which bloggers have taken part 26 (the list I sent you can see it here ). I think the result is magnificent, and some have spoken of a compilation made for the car with these issues. Since then, I'll do it. Thanks to the team The Best Music for this initiative.
