5 stars Young Dutch band Sky Architect have produced a solid and often stunningly brilliant debut effort, disproving anyone who thought that the progressive rock genre had been explored to the limits.

Effortlessly and smoothly navigating between most corners of the art rock universe, extragavant symphonic motifs and mournful sparsely instrumented themes are provided with the same ease as surging organ and guitar driven passages, smoother jazz-tinged sequences and harder edges parts touching upon progressive metal in intensity if not in style.

Those fond of breaking down compositions to try to track down possible influences should have a field day with this CD, and those who prefer to listen and immerse themselves in the music will most likely find the journey to be an intriguing one as well.

As long as art rock and symphonic rock suits your taste, you will most likely enjoy this disc. And if you enjoy elaborate compositions and an overall eclectic approach, chances are that you'll cling on tight to this one for a long time. Highly recommended.

Windhawk | 5/5 |
