PROJEKT GEMINEYE has been featured at length on these blog pages before. Mark Anthony K. has released three full length albums since the inception of his one man project in 2017, and according to reliable sources the fourth one, "In the Year 3073 - Book I" is already completed and ready for release.

This very productive Canadian has gained a devoted bunch of supporters via his own PROJEKT GEMINEYE Facebook group where he keeps his fans updated on his musical endeavours, and according to the feedback given by his anticipated supporters the new album is already long overdue.

The first single to be released from the album is the seven (!) minute track "Magic World", and shows a PROJEKT GEMINEYE that is still exploring new grounds, without straying too far from the direction that the earlier material went in. The basis is still very heavy rock oriented, but with the addition of acoustic guitars, soaring keyboards and odd time signatures it turns into a more tasty affair.

The production has more clarity than what the previous album "Man of Science...Man of Dreams" had, which was rather heavy on the low end frequencies. At the same time it had material that fit well in this part of the spectre, and all in all it was an enjoyable effort that earned a well deserved 8/10 in this writer's humble review somewhere else on this blog.

All in all, "Magic World" is a very fresh sounding first impression from PROJEKT GEMINEYE's fourth album, and if you are already familiar with what this solo project is all about you know this single only adds to the anticipation that is already there.

★★★★★★★★☆☆
