Wow! This was my introduction to Echolyn and it was a great first impression. The talent in this band is
incredible. So many differnt styles are traversed on this CD played skillfully and the vocals while not
stellar are right on key and not offenisve to the ears. I love the funkiness of So Ready and the title track
while only 7+ minutes is truly epic in its stature. I could see the band closing a concert it with it. This is
definatly an American band as there are real hard rock passages that compliment the pastoral and jazzier
parts. In fact these guys invoke (or maybe the other way round) another modern American band IZZ. I
love the trade offs between keybordist Buzby and guitarist Kull. Some really sweet sounds on acioustic
guitar as well and great organ and paino parts as well give this an earthy flavor in parts. Really really
sublime. Reminds me of really good Genesis jams with Hackett and Banks in places. I really like this CD and look foward to getting more. Good to see that they will hitting the festival circuit again this year and will be at Calprog in October. IZZ and Echolyn on the same bill can't f-ning wait!
