From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

A friend of mine gave me this album to listen to. I was rather discouraged by the band name, thinking of an alternative hardcore band coming out of it.

What you can is an advanced set of instrumental adventure with dominating keyboards. The first overture reminds of ELP synths. The second track has strong bass/drums leading the pack just like you would expect it from the modern loosely defined instrumental prog. All this on a short time as tracks are usually short. Other interesting elements are alternative rock/metal and 80's pop mainly on the synth side. "Neo-Uranium Madness" stands out in terms of catchiness thanks to its lead baroque-inspired synth but also disco rhythm. Also pay attention to the diligent bass. The album is a collection of seemingly random short ideas perhaps meant as witty experiments. It is an original set of songs but due to less focus on the compositions and the disappointing 9-minute last track that has much silence in it, I can't give it 4 stars.
