After the critically acclaimed release of their debut album, All Along This Land, in July 2006 when this band thrilled critics and fans, you can expect even greater diversity and depth from this remarkable progressive rock quartet in the upcoming album.
With the music of Prickly Pear, recorded at Cloverland Studios in North Hollywood, CA, this upcoming release by The Source is a sophisticated work with an extraordinary level of writing, arrangements and performances, coupled with great production value.
The five songs on this CD constitutes about 50 minutes of music, with three mini-epics delivering a superb and progressive ride.
For their Debut CD, All Along This Land, The Source was the subject of praise from critics all over the world with statements as:
"...I found them to be in the realm of such greats as Yes, Steely Dan. ELP, Pink Floyd, Genesis (pre-1973) and King Crimson to name a few.
...Highly recommended, possibly the best prog debut in decades!! " ProgNaut.com
"It's not often that I'm as excited by a new band as I am about The Source. This is a band that combines all the best things about seventies progressive rock with much of what's best about what's going on now and comes up with a sound that has one foot in the past and one foot in the future." The Dutch Progressive Rock Page
"...with elements that include early Yes, The Beatles, a little Pink Floyd and dreamy psychedelia. But beyond that, they don’t sound like anyone else today….Charming to say the least. " Kinesis
"These guys create a great blend of prog rock with Beatles type pop, psychedelia and jazz. The result is a disc that never fails to entertain. There are no weak points here – only strong and stronger." Music Street Journal
"Each song takes you on a journey that ends with the beginning of the next song and next journey. You will want to listen to this CD over and over..." progmusicrules
