wow, they've made some strides, I remember when I got the last album and spoke the band, I thought it had good potential but needed work in the lyric/melody department. I'm anxious to hear what they've done. ------------- Best Regards, Shawn Gordon President ProgRock Records www.progrockrecords.com www.mindawn.com |

If anyone has their pre-order, can you give the rest of us some guidance on this one? The Progressive Ears review referred to on the blog/news chapter on the website is extremely complimentary........almost apologetically though, which is a bit of a worry.
I like the bands compliment with both strings and woodwinds on this one, not to mention some apparent contributions by D'Virgilio, Meros and Trewavas. The excerpts are also promising , but will this release as a whole live up to expectations....... Anyone at all yet? [Official release date is 17/9]. ------------- Looking still the same after all these years... mrgd |

I received the promo from the band and as I have precious little time these days (and I have other promo's as well to review), it'll take some more time til this one is done, but so far it's pretty a decent album (mature, rich in sound) and one that needs (like many others) repeated listens with concentration.
