I find this band of the highest caliber of progressive rock, even if its just
revisiting farmiliar territory all the elements to their approach are so
cohesive and authentic. Seamless, melodic, grandieose yet at times humble
and pastoral. The eternal Genesis clone criticism is honestly what drove me
towards them, and I'm sure one or two of you can agree that a band that can
truly channel the spirit of Genesis without resorting to watered down pop-
balladry disguised by bombast, then I'll be there in bells. Surely a bit darker
and more menace then what I associate with Genesis on the whole, their
sound is still quite colorful and dynamic. Anyone for seconds?

Ah, wonderful place to start. Although honestly, I don't see anything but
quality coming from their other 2 releases. Ghost has a bit more 'gritty' and
dark quality about it. Vacuum, in my eyes, is just symphonic Italian prog in
its most classic, most rewarding guise.

Good band. I don't mind the Gabriel/Genesis comparisons, it's still original music.
