SLEEPING IN TRAFFIC - PART TWO

I was turned on to Beardfish by a friend of mine recently and am happy to say I have since acquired their entire catalog. "Sleeping In Traffic: Part Two" is a tremendous piece of work that establishes this band as one of the modern masters of the genre. The epic title track is worth the price of admission alone, but the album has so much more to offer. It is a wondrous mix of classic 70s prog vibe along combined with some heavy rock/funk elements that never lets up. All apologies to Steven Wilson, Rikard is the most talented man in prog today. Between his keyboard expertise, soulful and precise guitar work, thoughtful lyrics and tremendous vocals there is no single individual in prog today with more pure talent for the game. No hesitation whatsoever giving this modern classic 5 stars.
