Great Pacific Orchestra (GPO): poignant and emotional music

Tweet

Those who enjoy epic prog-oriented rock with a twist should listen to Great Pacific Orchestra (GPO). Great Pacific Orchestra, or GPO if you wish to be more casual, is a community of Finnish musicians who, above all, wish to explore. Fragile Things is their last effort and the album contains the song Time Is A Window,

The music is often playful and some times trippy, other times poignant and emotional, but also exceptional heavy and gloomy. The band sounds unlike most music I ever heard and they have a very nice genre contempt that make their wish to explore music effective. The song ime Is A Window would probably at first listen be consider as a upbeat song, but eventually the song develop into more subtle terrain and into something entirely different as the song progresses to its massive end suite.

The band states about the song, «The years are just a number and time is just a window. Sometimes a day can feel as long as a lifetime, but sooner or later everything has to come to an end, and that is exactly the way it should be. This is the tale that this song wants to tell».
