"Dawn on Pyther" is the second part of a trilogy conceived and composed by Hugo Flores. The first album "Floating World" narrated the endeavor of the inhabitants of a dying planet to move to a new, friendlier environment, while "Dawn on Pyther" describes their adventures on their new home, planet Pyther. The musical direction has not changed dramatically since the band’s first album, but certainly you can change some differences between them. I could say that this is equivalent in many ways to Ayreon’s albums, though it has another direction. Hugo Flores has invited in this concept album several musicians and singers to perform this story, which is based on progressive rock layers, mixed with new age, art rock and -sometimes- metal. The album is slightly heavier and seems that this has served the progress between the two albums. A shortcoming of the album is that the each track separately is overloaded by far too many parts, ideas and melodies. Given that some melodies are repeated through the album, this makes it hard to distinguish the tracks and flattens the album. There are many calm and serene parts that are followed by more intense moments, but they all fail to create enough contrast and to attract the listener’s interest. In other aspects of it, the album is excellently produced and every participant performs perfectly, especially the two female singers, Zara Quiroga and Alda Reis, who have very nice and warm voices. The whole atmosphere is quite positive and relaxing and is addressed to these moments that someone needs to listen to something calm and intelligent at the same time.
