COMING UP TO CONSCIOUSNESS

Short Interludes as passages, intros or outros, a cottony, ambient Prelude launching 'Dig Till You Die' with Floydian psychedelic post-rock sounds; the vocal duo Jon and Annicke hit the mark; Chloe is gone and leaves a magnificent vocalist. The soft melody drifts on compulsive alternative prog, synth prog with a staggering riff, an invasive beauty. Modern sound of today and tomorrow, looking at the prog works of Wilson, of the late Anathema. The text on the end of his dog's life, his guilt, the prog borders on perfection. 'Interlude 1' followed by 'Betrayal' with the electro piano pop ballad, Jon accompanied by Annicke for the dynamite chorus and the dark break; the organ of time, the guitar that talk to each other, the melody becomes unstoppable, captivating, letting time contract. 'The Gallows' on a melancholic climate combining Anathema, the Smashing Pumpkins and Åkerfeldt; the oxymoronic sound bathed in morbid gaiety with its catchy darkness. Harmonica of the Supertramp, time stops, the piano remaining in the race, launching the vocal solo with the slide guitar. Ethereal break between bossa nova and jazz bringing contemplation with the compulsive electric piano. 'Interlude 2' and 'Useless Animal' poignant for the dark instrumental side and the voice in complaint speaking of loss; crystalline piano à la Joe Jackson, drums, choirs, everything gets going to affirm the important place of the animal. Slide and piano in minimalist break before the heavy, metallic debauchery, which makes the PRR avant-garde. The riff makes you want to go see them live; you nod, the rhythm accelerates, creates a trance, an organ comes to finish you off in perfect humanity, that of Lewin from Soulsplitter.

'Interlude 3' and 'Worship' side again, creamy vocals; the intensity will grow on an electric crescendo, a tribal groove and the devastating organ. Jon screams, the words spurt out, the progressive atmosphere at its peak, between explosive prog and proggy punk creating a metallic tension worthy of the Smashing Pumpkins in the style of Depeche; fabulous. 'Interlude 4' and 'Bend the Earth' on Ravi's electronic pad to return to a calm pop ballad, a paradigm between softness and explosive containment; latency with Guy's expressive bass that makes you want to dance. The prog changes with this magnificent guitar solo not to be missed before the syncopated electro finale promoting trance. Then comes 'Lifeless Creature' with a linear ambient rhythm; moment of doubt, introspection, anguish; moment of bliss with Annicke hynotic and languorous, progressive. Dantesque finale with a pad-synth sticking to the ears; distressing with Jon on a dramatic coda. 'Interlude 5' longer, leaning towards Japan, brings 'As We Disappear' to the explicit title; alkaline piano à la Muse, whispered, barked vocals. The string finale to meditate and overcome these melancholic moments when doubt overwhelms us; the slide guitar helps us by crying to work on expiation. Title of Jill Tegan Doherty's album as proof of Love for her dog.

Pure Reason Revolution is an innovative, devastating fusion; modern progressive rock, emotion following the death of Jon's dog. An innovative sound with the vocal duo, the proggy sound, energetic and rhythmic. Dreamy prog synth, catalyst, on Talk Talk pop and the soaring Floyds. Heavy, soft and tonic melodies. A musical magma lighter than its two predecessors embellished with interludes making it enter the concept album. originally on Progcensor.(4.5)
