EPILOG

Worthy of much of its praise, "Epilog" is a fantastic showcase of symphonic/dexterous playing with a very classic prog sound. The album is equal parts intense complexity and moody beauty, with all players delivering the goods.

There is very little to complain about here, but I submit that "Epilog" is so similar to the excellent "Hybris" that distinguishing them can only be done by the very dedicated fan. Perhaps "Epilog" has a slightly darker tone, but there is nothing here that wasn't already done on their debut.

Still, it remains that "Epilog" has some killer moments, and deserves to be investigated by anyone digging fat, complex compositions with a classic '70's instrumentation.
