DARK MATTER

Pretty much has been said about this CD on this side. It is just brilliant. The five tracks blend into each other fairly well and the musicianship and song writing are superb. I particulaly like the opener and the closing track, which are the two longer pieces on the CD. The chemistry between the members of the band seems very good. Overall, a very strong release. The only reason that I did not give it five stars is because I feel that they have other even stronger releases, like "Ever" and "Subterranea - The Concert".

I had the chance to see them live in Montreal last summer and I was just blown away. They played three tracks from this CD (the two long tracks and "Born Brilliant") as well as other classics from their repertoire. I felt extremely fortunate to be able to see them live because they do about 10 concerts a year. If you ever have a chance to see them live, do not miss your chance!
