Like its fellow countrymen from ARTSRUNI, OAKSENHAM is a present Armenian Progressive rock band. It includes the usual rock line-up, plus a violinist and a flute player. Guest musicians appear on this album: harp, cello, oboe, horns, clarinet... This amazing band plays an instrumental "chamber rock" music, mixing classical influences (BACH, VIVALDI...) with Progressive rock. Published by the Musea label, "Conquest Of The Pacific" (2007) includes cover-versions of GENTLE GIANT songs and a musical theme borrowed from JETHRO TULL. You may even think of GRYPHON or GREENSLADE here and there. Here's a refreshing and lively, dynamic and airy music, composed and played with a lot of subtlety. Excellent !
