   Jerry Lucky, author of the book "The Progressive Rock Files" reviewed the debut CD "Decadent Light" by EVOLVE IV:

"...contained on the disc are eleven tracks that carry forward the essence of a classic progressive rock sound that is clearly placed in a modern setting. The first two tracks “Number 16” (4:20) and “War” (4:52) find the band at their most progressive with tunes that ebb and flow between fast and slow, intense and atmospheric, vocals and instrumental soloing. In fact there is a wide mix of rock styles and influences here, but there’s also a little country-rock on “Baby Come Back” (2:59), some spacey/psychedelics on “Saturday’s Gone” (4:28) and more. The compositions are upbeat, song-oriented but with a real art-rock-quirkiness allowing for many interesting musical moments to shine throughout the disc. The tunes go from moody to toe-tapping with many subtle shifts in time and tempo best exemplified in the CD’s longest track “Goodbye” (8:03). In fact it's easy to lose track of time as the music on this disc ‘evolves’ before your very ears. I'm sure the music here will appeal to wide cross section of music lovers."
