Kayanis is a Polish multi-instrumentalist who, according to the live-recordings on a promotional video, is quite popular in his homeland. I think this is also possible here because his music is very accessible. If you talk about multi-instrumentalists you quickly think of guys like Mike Oldfield and Gandalf and I must say that Kayanis' music has traces of these two masters but also Jarre comes in mind. Kayanis' music can somewhat be compared to the synthesizer-driven Oldfield-albums like "The Songs Of Distant Earth" and "Tubular Bells III".
The album starts of classical-symphonic as in Jarre's "The Emigrant" . Then the single "Arecibo" follows which has a very nice melody. Again, Jarre sends greetings because of the women/children-choir in "Ellie" which has a simularity to "September". In "Lost Tribe" the electric guitar comes more on the foreground which brings the music into Gandalf. The very epic "Phobos" is all Oldfield through the extensive acoustic and electric guitarparts, the synt-interludes and beautiful melodies. Even a guitarpart from Oldfield's "Tubular Bells" is used. This track clearly shows his talent. Also a fine piece is "Finale" which could be from a Vangelis-soundtrack and then the opening returns. This is a strong album by a fine musician.
