A Temporary State of Bliss, by Residuos Mentales

A Temporary State of Bliss

by Residuos Mentales

supported by

Nickie Harte Kelly Eagerly awaited release from Greece, this duo once again delivers the goods. Various keyboards, guitars, bass and flute don’t properly tell the tale of what you’ll be served with, with these four tracks. Not an EP, three of the tracks are epic length, The result is in the progressive vein, utilizing lush orchestration in cinematic style, for a satisfying 45+ minute journey. I am choosing The Missing Part to showcase what you’ll hear on this fine release. Favorite track: The Missing Part.

ABOUT THE ALBUM:
A Temporary State of Bliss has a penchant for the traditional progressive rock like Camel, King Crimson, Genesis, but this time the duo has added many other elements (ranging from progressive to metal to funk) to keep their interest intact and the music fresh. In true old-school prog rock fashion, the tracks push the boundaries of time and space. The four compositions, make up forty-four minutes of music. This sophomoric achievement is still exploring the instrumental possibilities of progressive rock, only this time Residuos Mentales have upped the tension with an even more adventurous album.

ABOUT THE PROJECT:
Residuos Mentales is a studio project from Athens, Greece. The duo, Stratos Morianos (keyboards) and Alexandros Mantas (guitars, flute) formed in 2012. Their first full album, Introspection (2018), was well received by progressive rock fans worldwide. It was an album cinematic in nature, coupled with elements from Greek music, 70s progressive rock and electronic music. After a five-year absence from the music scene, Residuos Mentales have signed with OOB Records with their second full length album, A Temporary State of Bliss, 27/Oct/2023.

The sibling in spirit to Zopp's Dominion, at least from my point of view: It, too, has been on the wishlist far too long and I'm more than glad that I finally bought this. And also a cornucopia of good things prog, past and present! Strictly musically speaking this is a little harder hitting affair than Dominion, though. Carsten Pieper

Soothfully a phenomenal prog rock album—an instant classic. What motivates me to say so, is the music’s incredible expressiveness & its wonderfully cinematic song structures. Jargon is a very good fit with this band. It is quite evident that the band’s current lineup have great chemistry together & that they share a common affinity to this vein of music. I look forward to their next creation. Drifting Sun are definitely one of prog rock’s brightest lights. Thank you, DS! 9+/10. Alrihkh
