Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Collection of out-of-print and rare material.......2005-09-02

Echolyn is a progressive rock band from Pennsylvania that started off playing music derivative of '70s prog rock, but eventually became one of the few prog bands to break away from the '70s and update the genre for the new century. This 3-CD set includes the material from three out-of-print Echolyn CDs: Their 1991 self-titled debut album and two EPs, 1993's "...and Every Blossom" and 1996's "When the Sweet Turns Sour". The package also includes some live and semi-live recordings, an early unreleased track, and 2000 revisions of four of their better-known tracks. The "Echolyn" album has some good songs, in fact more of them than the second album "Suffocating the Bloom". But still, their songwriting ability didn't really kick in until 1995's "As the World". There's a lot of "chops for chops' sake". The two EPs are pretty weak except for a cover of Genesis' "Where the Sour Turns to Sweet". Disc 3, with three live-in-the-studio tracks of songs from 2000's great "Cowboy Poems Free" album and the revisited early tracks, is the strongest disc. The physical packaging of the set is innovative and impressive, though it won't quite fit on a standard CD rack. If you're not already an Echolyn fan, don't bother--get "Cowboy Poems Free" or "Mei" instead. If you're already a big fan, there's plenty of decent material in this package, but you may want to track down a domestic copy instead of paying for an overpriced import.
