5 stars Hi, I progarchive.com many years ago, but this is my first review.

"Grace for Drowning" is a marvel of disk where you analyze, rich textures, accurate sound and instrumental jazz, rock, orchestral, choruses, and lyrical sounscapes Steve Wilson, all beautiful.

It begins by introducing you to their most introvert with sensations of peace and spirituality are very white in his first subject and the third, the same name as the first CD: "Deform to Form a Star", with its hint of sorrow and much gratitude, that evoke certain her missing father. In the second and displays the krimson spectrum's sound that pretend and that elevates bright peaks later. Then start step by step to get into intricate facets, the beginning of "No Part Of Me" reminds me of schedules explored by Massive Attack on their fourth album, which indicates this high-stakes pursuit of textures and experimentation that seeks to drive, great. The fifth issue is more PT Incident or rather Blackfield (would be perfect on his latest album), a great and uplifting orchestral arrangements and choir, but is an issue that could have followed the sequence of the disc a little more risky. Then comes a "Raider Prelude" that you turn off the light and throws you into the basement and its darker side, preparing for the grand finale of CD1, "Remainder the Black Dog" that awful subject, has them all, ambient passages, jazzy , psychedelic rock, insanity, uuuuffff !!!!!!!! leads. The second disc starts with beautiful acoustic arrangements of strings, "Belle De Jour" beautiful. Then return trip-prog as I've decided to call it by its influence already mentioned, "Track One" is like a trip down the middle of the street in the rain, hurt and looking for a reason to go on, tremendous. "Index" comes and rescues you just to say that "you're hell, stay, you have before your eyes, face it", powerful and in its most dramatic part reminds some theme of "Insurgents", and finally almost spiritual. With "Raider II" I'm out of words, anything that would say little, every time I hear new nuances meeting to an otherworldly you out there at 4 'just before the entrance of the flute always kind of T . Travis, the issue is bombastic ending with relaxation while intriguing. "Like I Have Cleared Dust From My Eye" I landed, put back on the good experiences manifest in life, nature, family, friends, and enjoy the day to day that is often clouded by a dust which makes real vision of things, is a state of grace that is hard to find, and exposed to extreme situations talves appears clearly. Earned five-star masterpiece. Thanks!!! Closing Transmission.
