VARIATIONS ON A DREAM

"We Subside" is very RADIOHEAD sounding and I like the way the song builds. Some good guitar melodies that last for a minute."This Will Remain Unspoken" reminds me of PORCUPINE TREE and is a great tune with vocals and strumming guitar. We also get some mellotron and synth washes, and the vocals are so well done. "Vapour Trails" has a spacey interlude with experimental guitar. Some female backing vocals as well. "Run Me Through" has a melody that reminds me a little of "Turn It On Again" by GENESIS until things change 2 minutes in. Some nice guitar 3 minutes in.

"The Bitter Pill" has mostly piano, strummed guitar and vocals. "Resident Alien" is a cool instrumental with assorted electronic noises. "Sooner Or Later" features a good contrast between the mellow verses and full sounding chorus. "Part Zero" begins with strummed guitars, vocals and mellotron. It does get bombastic at times and there is a good breakout of guitar after 5 minutes. "Keep Dreaming" is another highlight for me, a RADIOHEAD sounding song with some killer mellotron. "Remember Us" is at over 16 minutes quite the ride. I like the two guitars playing a different melody at the same time. The soundscape becomes hypnotic, as well we get some more experimental sounds and later some incredible guitar. Amazing tune !

This is the kind of music that simply makes me feel good, and draws out certain emotions. Highly recommended.
