He has, also, collaborated with the Epic power metal band of Kamelot and Epica and he has given his 'helping hand' in a numerous bands/projects. With his latest solo work "Prognosis & Synopsis" Bob Katsionis offers an incredible instrumental album full of emotions, passion and inspiration. After the very first spin, I have to admit that "Prognosis & Synopsis" left me speechless.
"Prognosis & Synopsis" is not another solo and instrumental record with tons of shredding and soloing that makes you wanna push the forward button. No way!! It's an album with a variety of influences (from Jean Michel Jarre and Yanni to Dream Theater ) and generally is an opus that travels you with each listening.
It's really difficult to pick up a song as a favorite 'cause each and every single track is simply amazing, but, if I had to pick, those would be Asymmetric Parallels, Prognosis, Aegean Sunset, Cold Embrace and Amnesia. At this point, I have to add that Katsionis plays all the instruments here and he is, also, responsible for the production.
I think that "Prognosis & Synopsis" is one of the best albums that I've heard this year so far. It's an instrumental album that speaks right into your heart immediately and leaves a sweet taste in your ears. It's an album that you 'll fall in love with at the first listening!!!! Excellent!!!!
