The album of Mars Lasar having a top laconic name 11:02 is a 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 cords 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. 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 the meaning…

Mars Lasar is a perfect composer. His melodies are elegant and harmonical. His arrangements are light and intelligent. His music contains flight combined with perfect accuracy. Specially 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.

Album 11:02 is a brilliant work. A broad auditory of listeners still has not discover the music Mars Lasar, the perfect composer, which music is really waiting for success which is worth it!
