Wow! - I just listened to this, and was quite blown away by it. This is a very young band, and the production here sounds a little bit rough around the edges to my ears, but the material they present shows enormous potential indeed. If this album was professionally mixed and re-mastered it would already be guaranteed a very high place on my top albums of 2014 - that's how good I think these compositions actually are. The photos on facebook show a band who seem to prefer to perform seated, and it seems to me that this cramps their style to a certain extent, particularly the female vocalist, whose efforts seem to sit back in the mix a bit too much. I think she would be able to deliver a far more compelling performance if she stood up and let her lungs work to their absolute maximum capacity, but this is a minor complaint. The music itself is quite magnificent, and if these guys stick around I reckon they have the potential to be a really big name in the prog world when they have a couple more releases under their belt. Great start though - don't see any reason at all why this act shouldn't be included in the archives in the not too distant future.

| This is a really great first effort. Yes....I do think the mix leaves something to be desired, but this is a really really nice first effort and with some polish, could be exceptional. Great work guys and gal!!! |
