OUT OF MYSELF

I'm a bit relutant to give it 5 stars, for the album is still fairly new to me, but this is brilliant music. It encaptivates the best sounds and melodies known to prog lovers, the ambient Pink floyd waves, the genesis/marillion sympho-feel, great musicianship, songwriting everything. Riverside has managed to create a landscape in which one gets lost and have no desire to leave. Though there are many ways to link this music with the old classics, it is very much a current band in it's musical outings and has a great deal of an own sound. Highlights on this album are The Curtain Falls and The Same River. If this is the future of prog I'm very content. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
