 Pure melody. So rich and engaging, so mournful and ethereal, solemn in its chord progressions.

 The formula, moreover, is simple: the Greek prepares the music, the Brit, in the second phase, completes the tracks with the vocal parts.

 Masterpiece literally represents the ultimate work, the best work of an artist or a music group as in this case, it doesn't necessarily have to be the most liked work, something that often misleads the reviewer, but the effort to push forward the artistic horizon, sometimes with choices not entirely commercial.
