There is music for a soul, There is music for your mind. SHERINIAN Mythology is a good example of the second. This Instrumental Solo-album of the celebrated keyboarder (who was a participant of Dream Theater and Planet X) is full of dynamics, melody and craft. Being the defender of different analog squeaks and whistles SHERINIAN used of the full collection of them. At the same time invited musicians created wonderful metal-Arrangement. Solo is especially Magnificent, almost not distinguishable from guitar solo (by the way in the list of visitors appeared Zakk Wylde). Vocal was used but it is more in sample variant. This way at the beginning " The River Song " you can hear the voice of unnamed Bob Marley with the Jamaican accent. In " El Flamingo Suave " it is possible to hear the African drums. As a whole the disk would be appropriate as a soundtrack to any documentary film.
