5 stars This album is a true gem, a masterpiece of progressive rock that will captivate you from start to finish. From the tranquil and ethereal opening of the album to the hypnotic closing track, every note is infused with passion and emotion.

"Steady Lamblike Trickster" is an anthem of uncertainty and raw nerves, with keyboards, bass, and drums interweaving to create a haunting melody that will stay with you long after the song ends. "Sea Theme" is a wall of guitar sound that hits you like a ton of bricks, immersing you in a sonic tsunami that leaves you gasping for air.

Then there's "Cave," a mysterious song about immigrants that evokes a sense of yearning and longing, with lyrics that will hit home for anyone who has ever felt like a stranger in a strange land.

And let's not forget "Giant Polar Crimson Birds," a standout track on the album that showcases Jason Clause's influences from progressive rock legends such as Gentle Giant and King Crimson. The song seamlessly weaves together multiple musical themes and motifs, taking the listener on a journey through a musical landscape that is both familiar and new.

What truly sets this album apart is how it takes progressive rock conventions and turns them on their head. This is a progressive rock for those tired of progressive rock, a fresh and daring take on the genre that will leave you spellbound.

While the recording quality may not be professional, that only adds to the raw, unbridled energy of the music. At the same time, this music feels like it has a secret trick up its sleeve that doesn't shrink with each subsequent listen, and that's what makes it so special. If you're looking for an album that will challenge your expectations and touch your soul, look no further than Jason Clause.
