Product Description
Jerry Lucky, Progressive Land
The Age of Science and Enlightenment sets the bar for melodic symphonic chamber music. I highly recommend it.
Duncan Glenday, Sea Of Tranquility
... a record you could play again and again and again. I did.

Karda Estra - The Age Of Science & Enlightenment
[Cyclops CYCL 158]
The latest album by Richard Wileman's musical collective, Karda Estra, has taken two years to complete, so you can't accuse him of rushing into it. Age strikes me as being much darker in theme and atmosphere than his previous albums - opening track Talos certainly has a dour aspect to it, unadorned by the heavenly voices that appear later on and soften the impact. There is always the impression with a Karda Estra album that you are listening to the soundtrack of a movie - not your usual Hollywood mash up but something deep and meaningful from some land where the snow and ice bite deep into your soul. While the album tracks have titles such as Carmilla, Am I Dreaming You? Are You Dreaming Me?, Nocturne Macabre and the title track the synergy between title and the music is so enigmatic that your own mind makes up much of the scenario for itself. One could get their brains in a twist trying to classify exactly what type of music Karda Estra play - the interface where modern classical and progressive rock shimmers and shifts in a fog of indecision, but the music of Karda Estra straddles it with confidence. This is music that disregards the barriers of categorisation and just is... a logical extension of the previous albums, pushing the boundaries of musical exploration into new areas of reality. So fans of Karda Estra and Richard's unique musical vision won't be disappointed with Age, it fulfills all that you expect from his music, is beautifully recorded and produced. This is music for the sake of the music, no commercial considerations need apply.
