CIRCA: 2007

Most of this CD is great, reminds me very much of the better works the band Yes put out in the 90's which isn`t surprising since three (that I know of) members have worked with Yes in the past.

The big concern for me wasn't about what the music was going to sound like as I expected it to be great, more so I was concerned what the vocals will sound like would they attempt to try and clone the Jon Andersons style (I hoped not) They only sound like Anderson a bit in the harmony vocals, but the lead voice is more like a mixture of Rabin and Anderson in its application with a slight Peter Gabriel sound to his voice (hard to explain what I mean you need to hear it)

There's the odd "throw away" song that to me wasn`t adding to the rest of the collection of well written pieces "INFORMATION OVERLOAD" went over my head I`m afraid .. but the rest of the CD is well played well executed prog rock which sounds very experienced yet fresh and not too overly ambitious. I especially liked "Look inside" and 'Brotherhood of Man".

This is not the Next "Close To The Edge" but it certainly is a pleasant surprise 4.0
