"Mythopoetry is the debut album of the Norwegian progressive rock act Mythopoeic Mind.

“Two years after «Rien Faire», their first eponymous album, the trio (bass, keyboards, drums, vocals) from Lyon delivers their latest contribution to the revival of songwriting made in France. Nine small surrealist poems whose soft consonant sounds blossom through falsely naive melodies and which, in spite of their complexity, resound like so many evidences.
A pop of goldsmith coiled in a rough and noisy case considering the stripped arrangements, borrowed of roughness and of a gracious beau

It’s been fully five years since this hugely popular Hungarian symphonic rock band has had a new release and not only are they back, but they are back with a third installment (40 years later!) of their notable and much loved first release, The Martian Chronicles!
