UNIVERSAL MIGRATOR, PART 1: THE DREAM SEQUENCER

This CD has a very Floydy feel to me - It certainly isn't prog metal - because keyboards dominate this composition, with loads of spacy synth beats and swirls and not much in the way of metal riffing. This is not a bad thing as this 70 minute journey has some sumptuous keyboards and memorable tunes as well as some emotional guitar playing in the style of Gilmour. The story is carried by a set of very melodic and well-sung songs, it has a sort of poppy feel to it and yet it's still a startling example of pomposity (in parts). I have given this several listenings and it's grown on me from spin 2 !!! I really like the singing, especially the femal vocals. You know what - this is a sort of a SUPER Dark Side of the Moon, the sort of music that FLOYD COULD have produced - I think that Lucassen was trying to get a lot of the feel of DSOTM into this - However this is FAR SUPERIOR, I reckon this gets a 4.6 rounded up to a five - Definately a good CD to get the headphones on and be spaced and groovy !!!
