| sinopsis: | Over the more than two decades of its existence, its founder, Yoh Ohyama, has developed Asturias into three different directions. One of these projects is clearly influenced by Mike Oldfield's music, which shows above all in the studio works, where Ohyama shines as a multi-instrumentist. A second way shows an electric version of Asturias performing fusion / jazz–rock music, with a sound perhaps comparable to KBB. On the third way, Ohyama's acoustic chamber rock ensemble plays neoclassical progressive music. Still, whichever version of Asturias we are talking about, their instrumental music is always of the highest order. |
