Beautiful album. Absolutely no filler tracks, and every tune is a character that stands out. Perfectly combines scripted melody with inspired and well played solos. Aaron Parks is a storyteller, and every song on this album is a chapter in one epic tale.

The Call Within
by Tigran Hamasyan
supported by 5 fans who also own “Spring”
Tigran created a graceful album that feels like the story of the universe is unfolding in front of you. Equally gripping and carefree, it's a solid and fulfilling experience. Pacing's pretty neat, plus the way musicians play brings another layer of stylish personality and class. Compositions are astoundingly beautiful and can be super catchy or quite melancholic, showing how much of a pristine vibe the range of emotions on this project is. Those strong melodies regularly come back in my mind.
