NIGHT ECHOES

Another record from my favourite Australian group. I am always on the promo list which makes me excited as a little surprise every 2 years or so. This album cuts out some of the long prog epics which I am a bit sad about but it is replaced by an album with 3 distinct movements of upbeat prog metal with a pop touch, some brooding and emotional acoustic laced music and a 3 song prog challenge to end the album. Despite it being not such a "prog" album, it holds up with Venus very well if you want a different flavour.

Kinda like Voyager meets Crosby, Stills and Nash.

Best track: In Technicolor
