Symphonia / Satria Naga track by track review made by Michaël from the band Excalibur

1 / Intro :
The symphonic introduction put the listeners into the right mood for a neo classical musical trip

2/ Manusia :
The opening track is driven by the double bass pedal on drum and a real good guitar riff . The guitar mix reminds me a bit of Magnum Opus with the rythm guitar mixed on the right side and lots of excelent little lead and arrangments of synth on the left side.

3/ Saudagar Maruah :
Is another good fast song with a great classical interlude cover and a beautiful sweep picking ending.

4/ Wira :
Is a mid tempo track . I particularly like the mood in the slow part at 2’10’’that introduce in a beautifull way the lead guitar.

5/ Sembilan Pendita :
Is the first instrumental track and brings a more sad and dark mood.
The sweep picking theme played both by the classical guitar and the eletric guitar is really nice.

6 / 7 Penjuru :
We are back with a mid tempo "vocal track". The keyboard "orchestrations" and the rythm guitar parts are maybe the most neo-classical ones on the entire album.

7/ Dunia Syurga :
This track start with a real nice and soft flute introduction and goes into a real guitar madness ! This track is probably my favorite one . It is fast, with plenty of neo classical keyboards and guitar parts. I also have to notice that there is a great keyboard and lead guitar duel

8/ Lagenda Trilogia :
Is the second instrumental track of the album and it’s a tribute to Paganini and his famous violin caprice compositions.
I love the sweep picking part at 2’05"/ 2’20". This song is a real technical achievment !

9/ Kasih :
s the ballad song of the album and got a nice classical guitar part.
I am no’t really found of slow tracks so it’s probably my least favorite one.

10/ Hasutan :
Back to something fast . The sweep picking introduction and theme and the lead guitar sounds really good.

Second part and end of the review :

11/ Satria Naga :
The album finishes with a good instrumental track .

General opinion :
Satria Naga is a strong and beautiful neo-classical album that i recommand for all fans of Yngwie Malmsteen style.
Aman is a great guitarist. The vocals even if they aren’t in english sounds great and gives an interesting personality to Symphonia.

What can we expect for the future album ?
- More keyboards and lead guitar duel
- some more smphonic orchestrations
- Songs in english to understand the lyrics
- Maybe a tribute cover of the summer by vivaldi ? and lots
of instrumental tracks

I think that this band desserves your attention . I was really surprised at the beginning that such a band came from Malaysia but you know music is above frontiers !

Good music will still be good music wherever it cames from ?
8/10

Keep it up !

Satria Naga Full Tracks Review
by Alaska-USA Great Musician Jessie Lee Martin

http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea ... =373560981

First I need to say that when I first heard this band I was blowen away by the skill and passion that they have for there music!
They are from kuala, malaysia where the music seen is crap!
Its not like here in the United States Of America where musicians are treated like royalty!
There in Malaysia musicians are treated like sh*t!

Second of all just let me say!
I am full blooded American and I grew up with some of the greatist music in the world!

like - The Beatles, The Doors, John Lennon, Peter Cetera, BB King, Stevie Wonder, ZZ Top, The Who, Kiss, Jethro tull, Joe Satriani, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Steve Vai, Pink Floyd, The Eagles, Eric Clapton, Foreigner, Steve Miller.

To

Bad Company, White Lion, Concrete Blond, Warrant, Motley Crew, Tesla, Fire House, Danzig, korn, Metallica, Megadeth, Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, White Zombie, Rob Zombie, DRI, The Expoited, Circle Jerks, omg way to many others to name right!

How many bands do you know out of malaysia!

Wait for it!

Zero

Thats right!

Aman and his crew have been through hell or high water!

Fighting over every opsticle to get where they are today!
You think its hard to get in music business in America!?
Well just be happy your not in Malaysia my friends!

Because In Malaysia the king/leader of the country picks the musicians he likes!
Not the people! it doesnt matter what the people think!

if you are picked by the king/Leader you are golden even if you suck balls!
If you arent picked, Your nothing you go no where!

Here in America the people pick the musicians they like!
Dont they?

And even if they suck balls they still go some where! They still end up make gobs of money!
Not in Malaysia!

Lets show these guys what it means to be loved by fans!
Please give these guys your ears and your support!

They are incredably talented and very passionate musicians!
Lets make them proud to be a musician!

Ok my Satria Naga review part one is as follows:

1. Lead guitar

Noor Sabran/Aman, Is a pleasure to listen to!
With his jaw dropping Technique, Tricks, Licks, Speed and clearity,
He is an inspiration to any serious guitar player!
Taken from some of his Inspirations Jason Becker, Yngwie Malmsteen, Vinnie Moore exc:
Aman has created his own unique technique and style!
You can hear and feel it when you listen to his songs!
I cant quite put a name to it but it is incredable!

2. Bassist Guitarist

Z9, oh my god what a incredably skilled bass player!
With him holding the plectrum in his right hand
and noting with the fingers on his left, He brings the music to a new level!
You can feel his deep rockin tones!

3. Vocals

Zulfadzli, Now this guy can sing!
Like the lead singer of Korn, Zulfadzli carrys every note/tone with grace and power!
Zulfadzli has presence!
He will make you feel what they are singing about even if you cant understand the words!

4. Keyboardist

Tina, Is a great addition to Symphonia with her keen timing and her talent!
She adds the perfect touch to whatever masterpiece Symphonia is making!

5. Drums, Sound mixing, Mastering and Compossion

Aman is a pro!
The mixing, mastering and compossing job he does sounds just like the professionals here in America!
They get paid gobs of money for there sound mixing, Mastering and compossion work!
Nice job Aman! I hope that every great musician has an amazing sound mixer/Masterer
and composser as good as you to make there album sound like the grace of god!

Satria Naga review-Part 2a.

1. Intro

The intro has an almost indescribable sound and feel to it!
Makes me Feel like Symphonia is taking me on a great journey!
With wonderfull keyboard compossion and increadable passion the intro sets the mood!

2. Manusia

Manusia Is exciting and powerfull! This song is amazing!
The musical compossion is very professional,
This song has great Rythme, Lead Riffs/licks, Vocals and lots of passion!

3. Saudagar Maruah

Saudagar Maruah has great musical expression!
Spectacular Musical direction and Compossion!

Starting off with powerfull riffs from Aman,
Great rythme from Z9, The Drum beats and keyboard!
Then Zul comes in with his powerfull / Incredable voice!
Then Aman gives us Incredable solo runs!
With his wailing string bends, Massive Scale runs, Killer riffs and Arpeggios plus his awesome technique!
Aman is powerfull and deffinately one of the greatest guitarist of all time!

Wow what a great performance!
This song should be thrust into greatness!

4. Wira

This song is a great addition to the Satria Naga album!
They make you feel the music and what its all about.
With Zul's killer voice, Z9 rockin on the bass,
Aman - Skilled and powerfull on his guitar bringing killer solo runs, Riffs - licks and great feeling!
Mixed with the great tempo of the drum beats and the acapella of the keyboard in the background!
