Gino Foti Review of "Orbis Terrarum" @ iTunes By: Steve Roberts ased around themes that make me think of Bo Hansson, Mike Oldfield or Jade Warrior and some lush arrangements that these groups would be proud of and incorporating some virtuoso bass playing ala Michael Manring or Percy Jones, "Orbis Terrarum" is a great instrumental prog album with many influences. Not strictly 'rock' music, but neither is this something that in years past would have been labeled 'new age'. In fact a lot of this reminds me of some of Pekka Pohjola's work - beautiful melodies played in a semi-classical style with some very distinctive bass work! If you enjoy lush instrumental prog then Gino's CDs are definitely right up your alley! Highly recommended to fans of the musicians/groups mentioned in this review, especially Pekka Pohjola's solo work! © Steve Roberts / ZNR Records Dionysian Stream Kujichagulia Privilege Of The Strong Essence Of A Noble Soul Ultradian Rhythms Disciples Of Death
