Good Retro Prog.......2007-01-25

I first became aware of this band from some good reviews I read and the fact that some of the members were former members of the band Cathedral whom I liked. If you like your modern prog 70's style, then this band is for you. The whole thing is done very much in the spirit of classic 70's prog. At times it sounds like Yes, at times Genesis. The band has two vocalists who trade off lead vocals. I really liked this disc when I first got it, but over the years I have not listened to it much. To my knowledge this is the only album that these guys have put together.

Excellent Prog Music.......2005-01-06

I loved this band from the first song I heard on an internet Progressive radio station. The music here is very much like if you were to take Genesis(70's), Sylvan, Jadis and Pendragon and put them all in a blender. Beautifully moody progressive rock in the vein of all the above mentioned bands. The use of 2 singers really helps fit the mood of the songs. Very very impressive CD. My only complaint is.. Where is their second CD???

Excellent prog!.......2003-05-30

This is enjoyable music. It always comes down to personal tastes but I don't get what is so horrible about this CD. Yes the sound may be a little too repetitive for some but who says there has to be endless variation for progressive music to be good? Most of us tend to like certain groups because they have a certain unique sound or can be grouped with other bands with a similar sound. I think there is a lot of imagination and cleverness shown here. Listen to A Winter's Tale. It's second only to Monty Python's 'Dead Parrot Sketch' in the clever use of the word fjord! Don't be afraid to invest in this CD.

This is [bad].......2003-04-04

I can't believe how many good reviews this exceedingly formulaic CD is getting. Not only are the vocals too metal-esque for my taste, but the arrangements and chops are nothing to get excited about. Some of the sections are almost 'hokey' in their effort to be dramatic or to fit into the 'progressive' category. Playing a Hammond, a Mellotron or a Minimoog doesn't necessarily make the music any good (I love all three, btw). After so many new progressive bands have done some truly interesting things, its hard to see why this gets so much attention. I was truly disappointed after having read so many good reviews.

Brilliant song writing, brilliant execution. This is pastel, harmonious classic (not neo) prog that harkens back to 1972 Yes and Genesis. However, if the style and lyrics are tribute, the melodies are all original. Waterline and All Hollows Eve are simply splendid, as good as the best of the 70s. Besides Echolyn, Ad Infinitum is the only other band that understands just what exactly was going on 30 years ago. One of the best albums I've ever heard. You will fall in love with this album if you understand what progressive rock is all about to begin with (that is, song writing not mere virtuosity).
