Reviews:
The album of Mars Lasar having a top laconic name "11:02" is the third part of a very interesting trilogy. By its
style, this CD is close to the preceding albums, "The Eleventh Hour" and "Escape," and like these two albums,
"11:02" is a perfect sample of visual music. Why is it so?
Mars Lasar is opening before the listeners a vast panorama. His music is very figurative. From the very first
chords of the composition Lords Of True, the music uplifts you and carries somewhere very high, to the place
where a city of unspeakable beauty is lying. You see it before you and it shines with brightest colors. It is
already close, and you want so much to escape there, away from chaos and madness of the world surrounding
you. Or, maybe you can rest your soul there, you can stay with the people, dear to you. A beautiful city of the
future! Its soft and warm light fills you with Love and Hope. And you feel joy and you see that your life has new
meaning.
Mars Lasar is a perfect composer. His melodies are elegant and harmonic. His arrangements are light and
intelligent. His music contains flight combined with perfect accuracy. Especially strong is the composition No
Secrets: you just surrender to this beautiful melody and you want to follow it. You just wait with a joyful worrying,
what will come next.
The album "11:02" is a brilliant work. A broad auditory of listeners still has not discover the music of Mars Lasar,
the perfect composer, whose music is really waiting for the success it deserves!
