ONE

Wow is this guy inspired of what ? "One" is simply a killer album from ex- SPOCK"S BEARD leader and a noticeable improvement over "Testimony" which failed to work for me. MORSE drives home his inspired lyrics and messages over some powerful music with the help of pals Mike Portnoy (DREAM THEATER) and a terrific bass player named Randy George. "One" is jam packed and clocks in at almost 80 mins with 4 epic tracks, each given lots of room to explore and build up his musical concepts. I think this is the closest to SPOCK'S BEARD in texture and sonic explosions that he has come yet from all his solo albums. MORSE's vocals and harmonies are pure and heavily inspired and his lyrics reach heavenly heights for this music lover. MORSE covers the guitar and keyboards while Portnoy contributes his competent yet controlled drumming and Randy George's fine bass interplay. Overall a truly wonderful album with some great musical moments and an album I treasure in my collection. I guess he finally landed with a Christian-Prog album for me. Two Thumbs Up !
