Album Description

Highly anticipated third album from the innovative progressive rock outfit. Sensual, spiritual & unrestrained by musical boundaries, the dramatic, multi-layered arrangements combine with haunting vocal melodies to create a powerful & epic work where panoramic soundscapes give way to fragile moments of acoustic intimacy. Produced by Steve Evans (who also worked on Catatonia's International Velvet & Leftfield's Leftism). Immrama Records. 2003.

5 out of 5 stars Enya meets Yes.......2006-08-12

This is outstanding, I was waiting for something like this, I needed something like this. Its just the progressive rock we all know, but with ambient pads and angelical chorus voices like Enya. Catchy, very complicated sound layerings and melodies. There are some harsh electric guitars sounds, as well as some acoustics sweetness. Drumbeats are ok, nothing too outstanding, pads made by synths are really strong and nice

On the downside I think the album overall is too balladistic, there are no dark or frenetic fast parts, and also it could be more hard in my opinion, as guitar solos are too simplistic, but it seems its the nature of the band. But who doesn't want an extraordinary solo like the closening part from Arena "the visitor"? you won't find that here... But anyway, it depends on the taste. To me this album is a very good listen.

Another band I recommend (much heavier than this one, but overall more catchy) is Leaves' Eyes and the album I recommend from them is Lovelorn.

5 out of 5 stars Best Song Oriented Prog CD in the past 5 Years!!.......2003-07-19

I chanced upon this band by hearing one of their songs (Strange Behaviour) off of a sampler CD. Their music is mostly beyond comparison, but to give a suggestion of who they might be similar to, think of Marillion (Seasons End CD, but the best from that - like "Easter") Yes, Genesis, the best moments from IQ and Pendragon, and you're getting close. This band is unique in their emphasis on strong melodies, perfect chord progressions and fantastic arrangements of the songs. They have beautiful female vocals and out of this world vocal harmony and arrangements, Wakeman style keys, emotional and moving (and quite fast yet tasteful) guitar (both lead and acoustic) and just perfect bass and drums. Songs are mostly in the 5 to 7 minute range, and the closer, clocking in at 10:30, is comparable to an epic of Yes or Genesis song writing and performance quality at their best moments. Sound production is perfect - and I'm quite hard to please in that area. Recording captures the dynamics wonderfully - from the quiet moments of piano and vocals to the bombastic peaks with full band and bass pedals! CD comes packaged with a 20 page CD booklet on high quality paper and includes lyrics, etc. I'm now going to buy their entire backlog (3 CDs and 2 DVDs) All can be ordered from their secure web site (or via syn-phonic off the web - where I got mine) or of course, here at Amazon. Go ahead - take the chance!! I've sent an e-mail to the band to let thewm know how much I enjoy their music, and if I could help market this band in the US, I'd do it for free - they're just that good!!
