GRAVEYARD MOUNTAIN HOME

Kevin Moore's third Chroma Key album marks a distinct Departure from his two previous albums, it is way more musically varied and eclectic compared to them and less focused on spaced out keyboard sounds and more on creating sonically rich melodies and textures, this sounds nothing like his first two Chroma Key albums nor any of his Dream Theater albums.

Based on the film "Age 13", he loved making a film soundtrack so much to Ghost Book (Soundtrack to the Film Okul) that he made a fake movie soundtrack to a public domain film that he found from the prelinger archives, so most of the spoken word that is characteristic of his music comes from that film, the album cover is also taken from it.

I'd consider this to easily be the peak of his career, nothing that he really made before or after this is as good as this. The only thing that bugs me though is just how drastically different tracks 7 and 8 are. These songs really move into a completly different direction that is different from the overall serious and sombre tone of the album. This record all and all though really is an absolute masterpiece.
