ARKHAM

This is going to test the patience of most music fans, even those who consider themselves devoted prog fans. Its isn't so much the fact that the music is weird or bad, but the sound quality, at best, is fair. And at worst, very poor. All these tracks were recorded live and by the looks of things, not professinally. Don't get me wrong, the music is orginal and even talented but greatly marred by obvious recording limitations. If you like canterbury circa Soft Machine Volume 3 with some RIO flavor thrown in, this group is for you. Otherwise, this cd may be to challanging for the average music fan. 2.25 stars.
