I intially bought this album for a few selections I had heard from Classical 102.1 (KDFC-FM). I was pleasantly surprised that the entire album has a very satisfying collection of the greatest marches. I am very pleased with this album, and would recommend it for anyone who likes a broad range of famous marches.

Fun.......2007-01-21

This CD would make a great gift for anyone who enjoys marches. Some of the marches are popular, others are not. All are well-performed and can be enjoyed - LOUDLY!

invigorating!.......2006-12-05

Great recordings of stirring music. I like to play it loud while my kids and I clean house. It makes it go by fast.

Totally awesome!.......2005-03-27

My father was a Marine in the ETC, he told me stories about how they went floor to floor checking for bad guys humming this music. I think it is great music to listen to, I really like track 3, it says so much in the title alone. I hope everybody like this music as much as I do!

History, Truth, Progressive Rock with A Pop Sense.......2007-07-13

Mr. Morse has created a thematic recording recounting the struggles of Protestant Reformer Martin Luther against the theological and political corruptions of the Roman Catholic Church. Sola Scriptural means "Scripture alone," and is the teaching that the Bible is sufficient and necessary for an adequate and saving knowledge of God. It is the true norm. Mr. Morse continues that theme to warn those today of diluting or polluting the Christian message with mere tradition. This biblical message is strong and refreshing for this genre of music. (If only Dream Theater could get the message into their souls and throw off their nihilism. Mike Portnoy, of Dream Theater, is Morse's drummer, so who knows?)

The music is squarely in the progressive rock orbit (but not boringly so), but with many hooks and a Beatles-like quality to the vocalizing. Thought not a pop or Beatles fan, the combination of deep progressive chops, good song-writing (with some sly humor), virtuoso musicians, and strong (and often moving) lyrics won me over. And it bears repeated listening.

I suggest that one listen to the whole thing at one time, reading along with the lyrics provided in the CD. Then read some church history and the Bible itself. You may experience your own reformation.

Why the controversy?.......2007-07-06

Bravo, brother Neal.

You just have to admit that the organized church was corrupt. Not only were the upper eschalon of the Catholic church murdering, torturing and persecuting in the name of dogma and political influence, they were keeping the faithful of the general public illiterate and uninformed. This was the insult behind the tragedy. Not only did Luther champion a correct doctrinal stance, but he attempted to put the Word of God in the hands of the common people. This way the servant and the aristocrat could hold each other accountable to what the Bible said about sin and salvation. Without the ability to open up your Bible and read for yourself what God has spoken in His eternal self-revelation, you and I are condemned to just blind ignorance and the tyranical whims of the power-hungry in the church.

The Protestant movement was the plot light of the literacy movement in that age. Just like when Alexander the Great made "the whole world" speak, read and write Greek, it was really God setting the first century world up for the spreading of the Gospel. And today, English is this international language (economics, medicine, science) with which God has set the modern world up to hear His Word again.

Illiteracy is how the Cathholic Chruch remained unchallenged and kept the masses ignorant in the things of God. The people were crippled in defending themselves against the tyrany and unable to find the narrow road that leads to eternal life. It's a good thing that "one of them" decided to expose the charade and, paying a the highest price, sparked the movement that would bring the light of the Word of God to the English speaking world. Today there is no excuse. You can buy a Bible at Walmart. People in the civlized world are with out roadblock when it comes to the availability ot the word of God. If you really want to know what God has said in the Bible, you can read it for yourself.

Sadly, today as I try to evangelize in a mostly Catholic city, I find the masses still ignorant about the Bible's requrements for salvation. No one has had any idea of what being born again is, although Jesus states it is a requirement for entrance into the kingdom of God (John 3:3). In over 13 years of being saved, I've had only one challenging conversation at work with a Catholic who actually quoted the Bible to support his beliefs. Most Catholics I talk to remain in sin and out of touch with God because of family intimidation, sports-fan-type loyalty, and Biblical illiteracy...but rarely for anything as unique and genuine as a Biblical conversion, deliverance from the bondage sin, or a healing miracle in their body that can only be credited to God Himself. Ceremony and tradition have replaced repentence and the genuine fruits of faith, as Jesus and John the Baptist would have noted.

Even more sad though, is the ammount of Protestant Christians that are just as illiterate and happily so. Ther are people that know more about "The Purpose Driven Life" than the sanctified God-pleasing life. They haven't enough Biblical fortitude to discern the modern "golden calf" message behind weak kneed "Christian" self-help gurus. Christians today willingly buy into "Your Best Life Now" and other Christian Pop junk food instead of biblically striving for God's best life on His time table. We are more content to be entertained and call it worship rather than listen to the word of God in an unpopular-but-biblical sermon that lasts longer than 20 minutes. For shame. If it keeps going this direction, we may have to "come out of her" again.

I'm glad for Neal Morse's sake that burning at the stake is illegal now. Face up to the truth, people, don't be like Nazis that try to deny the Holocost. There's no Catholic bashing here, just well-informed songwriting. Why bash a Catholic when you can just get one saved?

Oh yeah, by the way, the music on this album is Neal's best yet.

Great Continuation of Neal Morse in his grandure........2007-07-01

Neal Morse for a long time now has struck me as a musical genious. Just recently above all his album ? has certainly struck me genious and my favorite. Aside from that when I picked up Neal Morses' new Sola Scriptura and put it in to listen to, I was blown away to find that the musical genious still layed in layers of smartness, cleverness, and pure thrill of a good listen. The only thing I had wrong with the album was the cliche lyrics. As good as the spirituality is, this lyrical mesh didn't strike me as deep as the other three genious albums he's released. I try my hardest not to compare to other albums, but when you know his lyrical topics and writings could be better, it's hard to listen to the words... so that's why I listen to the music.

If your looking for a good rock fused metal with some symphonic influence baried deep in the heavy goodness, you'll find yourself quite satisfied with the movements of these few songs. Plus you'll get a good half an hour song to enjoy on your free time. I've always been a person to love long songs, and these did not disapoint me in the least. Per say, I'm quite in love with the motion of these songs. The door is really the only song on this album I had a hard time with, it's a good song, but not to the bestest lyrical quality right, but the music is still in the highest motion of pure entertainment. However, in this goodness of rock fused metal, you will find that the riffs are hard and the transitions are top notch. Also, the complexity of the song remains to the truest of Neal Morses standards, plus not to include Portnoy's (Dream Theater) backing, with a bit of Rudess (Dream Theater as well) and our favorite bass guitarist. Anywho, I would recommend this to anyone whose looking for some awsome rock, incredible intricate melodies/movements/riffs, and just enjoys longs songs that take you on a wonderful adventure through the theological mind of Morse. This is for any prog rock lover, but also a generic rock fan who doesn't mind a song exceeding 5 minutes, let alone 25 minutes. So however you'd like to do that, enjoy its simplicity, not, enjoy its complexity very much. 4 stars to another successful album.

Thank you for another trip to the well.......2007-06-29

Joe Walsh said, "It's like your favorite station, playing your favorite song. Over and over. On the radio . . ." to explain how the music spilled from him. Neal Morse makes that creative out-pouring seem so much more profound.

The beauty of the life in the age of the iPod is how accessible one's music collection. I mention this thought because, as I listened to Sola Scriptura, I realized that Neal Morse is slowly unveiling one great work as he pours forth from his well-spring of genius.

This album continues the journey and weaves hits of previous melodies and words to help carry us forward.

Listen to them all together, in order . . . what a wonder of creation.

I just realized the irony of mentioning Joe Walsh . . . now Neal Morse will never have to play, "that Eagles song" again. He has plenty of music playing on his own radio station to keep him busy for many years to come.

Simply Great Music, Well-Performed.......2007-06-17

I'm a huge Neal Morse fan, I think he's one of the great composers of our time. He's not going to surprise us, we expect complex dramatic symphonic arrangements and he keeps delivering the goods. I admit it, I don't pay much attention to the words and I'm not a religious guy, so the bible-thumping washes over me without affect. It doesn't bother me. I love great progressive music and Neal is a modern-day genius at providing it.

One thing deserves special note. Mike and Randy comprise one of the best rhythm sections in the business. They mesh tightly with a muscular precision. Randy's punchy and precise playing is a awesome. His mellow tone (and brief bass solo) in Two Down One To Go is smooth and amazing. Mike is a worldclass powerhouse. Neal is lucky to have such talented players adding substance to his grand compositions.

Excellent, but one missing..........2007-03-07

These are fabulous marches played with huge amounts of zest, but one of Fiedler's best RCA marches - the Zacatecas March - was left out!!! Why??? There would have been plenty of room, and it seems to be available on a Japanese release - why not this one?

Otherwise, no hesitation at all.

Simply a Fun Set of Marches.......2003-10-18

In the 5th grade, I tried out for Little League. My desire to play baseball was not rooted in any love for the sport. I thought my father wanted me to play a sport. I was so great at the tryouts; he said some memorable words to me. "Tim, I think you ought to stick with playing the clarinet." I am sure he was trying to spare me humiliation on the athletic field. Little did he know he was starting my love affair with music, a far greater gift.

Perhaps because I was in the school band, I gravitated toward marches, and this collection of marches conducted by Arthur Fielder was one of the first recordings I purchased (6th or 7th grade I believe). At the time (the mid 1970's) it was only available on LP. As soon as the CD was available, I purchased it for nostalgic reasons. This collection had many popular marches such as the Grand March from Aida, Stars and Stripes Forever, Pomp and Circumstance, as well as some lesser known marches. This was one of the collections that piqued my interest in orchestral music. Though the marches could probably best be termed "light classical," it was an introduction to more serious music. Many years later I used this same recording when I taught as background music during art or spelling lessons. Again, it served as an introduction to more serious music.

This is not a complicated set; it is simply a little jewel that is a joy to listen to and a fun addition to a music collection.

Great Marching Music.......2000-11-14

Even though I am a Yankee I still love "Dixie." This is great music for pre-school children and those just entering school. I think it helps build character. I like this album.

Great.......1999-05-23

I have had this tape for years and it just got torn, so I have to replace it immediately because my granddaughter, age 3, also loves it.

Still an electrifying album.......2007-05-29

What the world needs now and then -- what it used to get now and then -- is a true smash Broadway hit. We got an idea when "The Producers" opened, when reviewers raved and people rushed for tickets and The New York Times predicted it would run fifteen years. And then...Nate and Matt left, with Nate's place taken by some fellow who'd done Shylock on the West End, and he got fired, and the whole premium-priced house of cards crumbled in slow motion -- no more sellouts (at least none without the boys), no one acclaiming the "genius" of the newest Max Bialystock or of Susan Stroman, no one willing to overlook the indifferent songs or the "hoary" jokes (so Ben Brantley called them -- on opening night!), and the show closed nine years before the Times said it would, and now it's a relic, just another overrated -- vastly overrated -- memento of its day, a "Black Crook" of over-the-top "comedy."

"How to Succeed in Business" was the "Producers" of 1961 -- a highly-buzzed-about show that became a smash hit and earned tons of awards, including the Pulitzer. JFK came to see it, the ultimate stamp of approval. The difference, of course, is where Mel's show had an amanuensis, this one had the real thing in Frank Loesser. As the theatrical historian Gerald Bordman has noted, Loesser's strong suit was satire, yet somehow he got sidetracked into several big romantic shows, square pegs in round holes given his snappy up-to-the-minute style; he'd bombed the year before with the idyllic whimsy of "Greenwillow." Here he returned to the brassy form of "Guys and Dolls", and if it wasn't at that rarefied level (what could be?) his score was still one of the best -- and like most of the era's hits it was expertly and excellently cast, and thankfully for us superbly recorded. Whether the show itself is so excellent is another matter; it derives from a paper-thin in-joke parody of how-to manuals, and Abe Burrows's book pulls its punches from the get-go, content with easy set pieces. But the satirical prospects for "How to Succeed" have since increased exponentially. One could wrench "A Secretary is Not a Toy" from the weak orbit of Bob Fosse's finger snaps (the clever use of the typewriter here was evidently just for the album and most likely never made the show) and plunge it straight into an office machinery maelstrom of beeping computers and grinding copiers and ring-tone-playing cellphones. Of course J. Pierrepont Finch wouldn't be the only one with executive ambitions -- why not his beloved Rosemary? One or both could sell his (or her, or their) brilliant promotional scheme with a PowerPoint to end all PowerPoints. And Wall Street has outdone itself with imaginative crookery; merely hiding stock for a televised treasure hunt won't do -- unless of course Money Honey® emceed it on CNBC. Maybe she could be the femme fatale. Alas come the 1995 revival the producers' idea of humor was to emblazon their every poster (and the album art too) with a big fat "H2$" -- unfortunately H2S is the chemical symbol for hydrogen sulfide, sewer gas (yes, I know, it's a dollar sign, but it's also an S) -- and to get A&P's Eight O'Clock Coffee in for a willfully ignorant product placement.

Perhaps it can't be done. Perhaps this brilliant cast album is a deceptive siren song to a revival's possibilities -- like "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever", a first-rank score next to a rank book. But "Pal Joey" became a stage treasure thanks to Goddard Lieberson's studio album, and the stage is nothing if not for dreaming.

DEAR READER.......2007-01-28

DEAR READER

You naughty Frank Loesser, tk, tk, tk, tk, tk, tk, tk, tk, tk (vintage typewriter clicks in the orchestra here): with your Jewish, Mid-European blood, wouldn't you have known --immersed deep in Rumyonland all your life-- before having Rosemary Pilkington say:
"Happy to keep his dinner warm till he comes wearily home"
then:
"I'm pregnant; what's new with you from downtown?"
...that these lyrics are so politically incorrect today? Executive suites, three button suits, doing things "The Company Way" are quite OK though: as (the then) Reagan Corps., later Bush Sr., now Cheney's Halliburton plus their henchmen in Eurobond Inc. all reign worldwide supreme; a dead solid Brotherhood of Man! Wait a minute, let's not try getting sincere! (Gotta stop that Frank Loesser cold or he'll still manage to stop the big rocket of political correctness!) It may embarrass Lloyd-Weberites, specially bric-a-brac-bazar-musicals suckers, to hear me say it, but say it I must: "How To Succeed in Business..." was the wondrous follow-up to the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical theatre revolution in the 40s/50s.... and more!

After his "Guys & Dolls" earlier masterpiece, through "Most Lucky Fella" (more 'a show with lots of music' than a Gerwhinesque Folk Opera') Loesser, a great among the finest composer/lyricists, produced his most distilled, hilarious and incisive work, teamed with Abe Burrows and the 'succeeding' choreographer of the day: Bob Fosse. To incarnate lead Pierpont Finch they groomed ex US Navy & Korean War fighter Robert Morse, with his quaint split teeth smirk, not much of a singer (listen to his breathing, the odd out of tune notes) yet, if we watch the movie version of "How To" (among the finest Hollywood Broadway adaptations) --and as a bonus, Tony Richardson's film "The Loved One"-- one can imagine Morse's charisma as the impetuous youth, the cheeky, happy go-lucky, unstoppable crawler from mailroom to the Tony Awards. And there was the awesome casting of vintage silver crooner Rudy Vallee as Biggley, supported by a bunch of fine female belting secretaries led by Bonnie Scott (and boy, belt they did! Just listen to Victoria Martin's high note in "Heart of Gold" if you can bear it.)

In the Deluxe Edition some of the bonus tracks are interesting, others less, like Charles Nelson Reilly's goings on about operatic Finalettos and such, although how right he was in his depiction of the problems he had pitching Coffee Break, then goes into a ridiculously rampant PAPAMPAMPAM!!! confessing: "I had A BAD EAR but I had a lot of spirit"... (good, honest ole' pro!) Loesser singing his demo sketch for "A Secretary is Not A Toy" at the piano is a real treat to listen to and ponder --knowing the final version-- on how any successful show depended on the interaction (and squabbles!) of its various creative collaborators. Also we get a tip of marvelous Walter Conkrite 'Book Reader's voice', which one can find, plus other missing bits, in the 1995 'H2$' New Broadway Cast Album with Mathew Broderick, a great Jeff Blumenkrantz as Frump et al; but, alas, this Clinton-era revival, with pointless new orchestrations and a ridiculous, Gospel-like arrangement of 'Brotherhood of Man' doesn't live up to the real macoy, for... Gentlemen, gentlemen! a good Broadway Masterpiece is NOT a toy, and you find nothing like it in F.A.O Shwartz! (For a real Xtra bonus, have a listen to Bobby Darin's "I Believe In You", LOL! the veritable Narcissus-swing-hit-song rendered by the very one!)

So, dear reader, you have alertly seized your opportunity to revisit or get to know this Original Cast Album of one of the best shows of the early 1960s just before its grand sloping period. Let's have a coffee on it, for it's been a long day; decades... I should say, of devastation. What? No COFFEE? No tunes? No wit? No art? No stars? Nothing remotely original? Why weren't Sondheim's greats rightly produced?

Ooooooh.... something within me dies!

There's never been a show like "How to Succeed".......2006-06-13

This is a fantastic soundtrack of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. Great musical numbers include "The Company Way", "Grand Old Ivy", "A Secretary is Not a Toy!", "Coffee Break", and "Happy to Keep His Dinner Warm". There is also familiar musical numbers like "I Believe in You", "Paris Original", "Rosemary", "How To", and the show stopping number "Brotherhood of Man". This show has a strong singing cast and that's what a hit Broadway musical needs. The cast includes the hilarious ROBERT MORSE as J. Pierpont Finch, the famous RUDY VALLEE as Mr. J.B. Biggley, the talented BONNIE SCOTT as Rosemary, the beautiful VIRGINIA MARTIN as Hedy LaRue, and the extremely goofy CHARLES NELSON REILLY as Bud Frump. Other cast members are RUTH KOBART, SAMMY SMITH, DONNA McKECHNIE, and PAUL REED. This musical is about a window washer, J. Pierpont Finch (MORSE), who wishes to "succeed in business" and while his knowledge of business increases after learning a thing or two by his boss, Mr. Biggley (VALLE), he falls in love with his very attractive secretary, Rosemary (SCOTT) and tries to overcome his evil enemy, Bud Frump (REILLY), Biggley's dimwitted nephew. Music and Lyrics written by FRANK LOESSER (Guys and Dolls, Where's Charley, The Most Happy Fella). Book written and Directed by ABE BURROWS (Guys and Dolls). Based on the book "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" by Shephard Mead. Choreography by BOB FOSSE (Chicago, Pippin, Sweet Charity, The Pajama Game). I recomend this sountrack to anyone who loves classic Broadway musicals.

A real life fairy tale..........2004-07-09

Many people have come into contact with and grown to love Frank Loesser's work through his most famous musical, the wonderful Guys and Dolls, but in my opinion this is infinitly superior and no broadway collection can be said to be complete without it. I immediately fell in love with this musical, but at first I was unable to see wherein the charm actually lay. The music, while catchy and fun to listen to, is not extraordinary, and, while Loesser's lyrics are clever and creative, he is certainly not my favorite lyricsist. The cast is excellent and perfectly suited to the piece, but that is the case in many of the original cast recordings of the best broadway musicals. And yet, despite not being overwhelmed by it, I could not stop listening to it. At length, I concluded that it is the story and the nonchalant, carefree feeling of the piece that captivates me. Each character is somehow endearing, in every song it is possible to relate to their emotions and desires, and yet, at the same time, it is so light and funny; at times it is as if nothing could shatter the playful frolicing world Loesser has created. Musicals are usually built around unusual events or are set in unusual places; it is the very simplicity that makes this recording so endearing, the idea is such a basic one, a young man trying to make his way in the world, and yet he goes about it in such an unorthadox fashion that the audience is instantly charmed and sucked into the story. From the first moment that he appears on stage we want him to succeed. That is the mark of a good musical. This down to earth, innocent style is especially well embodied by Robert Morse and his Rosemary, Bonnie Scott. It is impossible to listen to Happy to Keep His Dinner Warm or I Believe in You without a smile coming to your lips. And there are many other wonderful moments on this CD. M personal favorite is The Company Way, but I cannot resist the charming Been a Long Day, the electricfying Paris Original, the lovely Rosemary or the wonderful climatic moment that is Brotherhood of Man. Buy this recording, dont even think abut buying the revival cast first, (i mean, come on, how could they leave out Cinderella, Darling? It's one of the catchiest moments on the whole CD) or better still buy the Deluxe Edition if you can. But whatever you do, dont hesitate to buy it at the earliest oppurtunity. Even if you dont believe me, take a look at the facts, 1,417 performances, every possible award for best musical in its season, a Pulitzer Prize, (if nothing else sways you that should, I mean, only two other musical won one) productions all over the world, a successful revival, a reasonably successful film...I could go on and on. Please, just do me a favour and invest in something that you will enjoy for the rest of your life.

It Succeeds!.......2001-11-05

Whether you saw the film or not, get the CD and nod your head, stamp your feet, pucker up and smile. Great Music!

Album Description

This year has been a busy one for rock guitar virtuoso Steve Morse. In addition to his heavy touring schedule with Deep Purple and his own Steve Morse Band, he found time to record "Major Impacts 2", a successor to his stellar Magna Carta debut, 2000's "Major Impacts".

Widely hailed as an innovative alternative to the more standard tribute album, Morse's "Major Impacts 2" concept sees him paying tribute to his influences -- not with direct covers but with original tracks that recall the style of his heroes, filtered through his own interpretive sheen. Not only does it showcase his incredible versatility and inventiveness as a guitar player, composer and interpreter, it also provides a window into how he became the guitar player he is today.

"When Magna Carta came to me with the idea, I liked it immediately because it was such a challenge," Morse recalls. So many people do tribute albums where they simply cover the songs, but this was so totally different: I didn't want to fall into the trap of being derivative, so I tried to come up with a few things that would identify a style and what that artist or composer has meant to me."

In deciding whom to pay homage to on the record he deliberately avoided targeted research, choosing instead to rely purely on his long-term musical memory. As such, we hear flavors of bluegrass and Cajun music Morse heard as a teenager in Georgia (he even plays his grandfather's fiddle on one track, "Ghost of the Bayou"); the swinging '60s sound of The Yardbirds and The Hollies ("12 Strings on Carnaby St."); Bach counterpoint ("Air on a 6 String"); guitar interpretations of Keith Emerson's organ playing ("Organically Grown") and Steven Tyler's distinctive vocal style ("Errol Smith").

Like its predecessor, "Major Impacts 2" features the guitarist's regular collaborators and Steve Morse Band members: bassist Dave LaRue and drummer/percussionist Van Romaine. Morse, who also played all keyboard parts and violin, produced the album, his third on Magna Carta.

Founding member of the fusion rock band, Dixie Dregs, and a member of Deep Purple since 1996, Morse adheres to the notion that his approach to playing and writing hasn't changed over the years, despite the many hats he wears and style bases he covers. Indeed, it's his chameleon-like musicianship that is captured so perfectly on the multi-faceted "Major Impacts 2".

You can't hate this album........2005-09-06

Even if you're not a rock fan, this album is a really good asset to almost any collection. I think this is especially enjoyable for guitar players who can appreciate the brilliant playing involved.

I can't pick favorites but I really love Air on a 6 String. It's a guitar solo in the style of Bach and you can tell. I printed out a tab to this and it's a lot of fun to play and a lot of fun to hear. You can even play it for your grandma.

I even really like the Tri County Barn Dance, and I hate country and I'm not a fan of blue grass.

The track called "Where Are You" is one that really sticks out to me as being one that he really hit the nail on the head as far as trying to sound like a band. That sounds like the lost Who song to me.

I'm going by memory here because I don't have the cd with me but another I remember thinking was great was "Motor City Spirit," impacted by Nugent, Deep Purple, and Spirit. Even before I read the sleeve on the inside, I recognized that lead as a tribute to Ritchie Blackmore playing Highway Star. The guitar solo on Highway star wasn't that impressive to me but I don't think Blackmore is that good. But Steve made the style awesome.

Just an over all great album. I can really relax to the slow songs and drum my desk to the hard rock ones. Just buy this album and listen to it any time you want.

Fairly decent but..............2004-07-12

As a guitarist/teacher, I've been a Steve Morse fan for a long time, mostly from the Dreggs. He is still quite the musician, but this cd lacks backup players, lacks material, and mostly lacks ENGINEERING!! It is poorly recorded for the most part, no sizzle, no punch, and drums that sound like they were recorded in a garage....certainly no challenge for any stereo system. I thought Magna Carta was a much better company that this production proves. The cd is borderline listenable....with a few decent tracks mixed in. C'mon Steve...you can do MUCH better than this!! You are still THE MAN....even though this cd doesn't prove it.

When will Amazon let us choose 6 stars ?.......2004-06-18

One of the really fun things about Major impacts 1& 2 is seeing your guitar hero as a 'fan' .. seeing him as a guy who is humble enough to look at someone else's innovation and talent, and recognise it as such; to be able to picture him at the front of a gig doing all the stupid things we all do when the mood takes us.

Steve Morse is humble enough to make more than a passing nod to his influences. Major Impacts is not "Oh, I listened to a great deal of 'Howling Racket' when I was younger" and the implication being, "and of course I have left them far behind in the phosphorescent wake of my own talent". With Steve, we have someone who pays true homage to his heroes and influences, and not just lip service in order to win 'brownie points'.

The style of this album, as is noted elsewhere, is very much unresearched ... it seems to come over without a plan .. a bit like our own record collections and memories, and is all the better and fresher for it.

As for the music, from the first bars of Wooden Music, it was clear that Steve has put more energy and an even higher level of compositional skill into this second batch of influences. There are only a few moments of "typical Morse", and that, to me, is a REAL bonus ... let me explain.

The problem with instrumentalists and instrumentals is that over the course of 15 or so albums, the repeating of any phrases, tones and chords sequences is going to be noticable .. much more so than in a song, where words and lyrics take the place of the solo instrument. Whilst Steve has created more diversity and innovation in his music than most other players out there today, over 15 or so albums, there is always a tendancy to say "oh, that is the same phrase as "Marco Polo" or " thats the same riff from "Battle Lines"

Not so with this record, and HUGE credit to Steve for that ...

If anyone has a rack full of Steve Morse records ( going back to the brilliance of "What If" ) and has any sort of sympathy with the feeling, "Well, I have 15 Dregs/Morse records, perhaps I can give this one a miss" ... DON'T.

From Bach ( sheer brilliance ) to the Bayou, this record is fresh, energetic, exciting and represents just about the pinnacle of Steve's innovation and writing skills.

I would love to meet this guy .. my true 'hero' and an inspiration. Thanks for putting the effort into becoming this brilliant at what you do.

How does this guy keep doing it?.......2004-05-15

I've been a fan of Steve Morse since 1978, when I first hear the Dixie Dregs' "What If" on a 8-track my cousin had. This guy is absolulely amazing. "Major Impacts 2" is no exception to his tradition of musical excellence. The Hammond B3 patches on "Organically Grown", the CSN vibe on "Wooden Music", I could go on and on but he captures everything he attempts perfectly. Yeah, he's a monster guitarist, one of the best electric guitarists ever, but he also is an excellent composer. Listen to the interplay of instruments on his records versus some of the other "shred" guys. Oh, they can play fast, but few, if any, musicians who just happen to play guitar can touch Steve Morse.

Do yourself a favor. Buy this CD, turn your stereo to "11" and prepared to be amazed!!!

Happy to hear this stuff!.......2004-04-17

I've been a SM fan since 1980. I've got everything he's done including (what I consider to be)the ill-fated Kansas stuff. So, like any fanatic, I've got to get the latest. And this is the GREATEST! The subtlety and strength is amazing. I'm a keyboard guy green with envy. Not to mention that Steve covers most of my main influences. Steve, artistry in the age of Britney is not rewarded other that by my abject praise. Keep it up. History, if not the market, will reward you.

His Best, Y'all.......2007-05-27

It's a Southern thing, I reckon; I'm running out of title ideas, obviously. But it is his best, regardless of my lame title; From the trading solos on 'Cut to the Chase' w/Jeff Watson to incredibly solid, intricate bass and drumwork, this is a CD filled with accomplished playing on all levels; The songs are filled with surprising turns, and are actually great songs without being overly long. Morse is a master of various styles, and this will give you a sampling of nearly all of them on what I consider his best solo work. And that was a hard choice to make.

best batch of songs overall.......2005-04-02

I've owned several Morse CDs in the past, and, although they're all good, there's usually only a couple of standouts per disk. Southern Steel has the most standouts of the CDs I've listened to.

One of SMB's best CDs.......2003-02-13

I've been a Dregs/Steve Morse fan since the early 80's. I have virtually every CD he has ever put out. They are all great, but some are simply incredible. Southern Steel is incredible. Steve Morse is simply the best guitar player alive. I find his ability, range, style, and breadth of talent, remarkable. This CD is just awesome. All of the tunes are great, however, Simple Simon, may be, the best of the best. The musical genius that is Steve Morse should not be missed. The other band members are great too. It's hard to miss Dave LaRue's bass tracks. I've never heard a bass player as good as this guy. Awesome stuff.

UAU !!!.......1999-10-23

THis guy really can play guitar!! And play it in a virtuoso way, but without sounding boring, like many Satriani, Vai and Malmsteen recordings. No wonder Deep Purple picked him up to replace Blackmore.

An Incredible Guitarist Displays His Many Talents.......1998-09-07

I first heard of Steve Morse when I saw him with Deep Purple live. It was quite a moment.

Listening to the first of his solo albums I could find was much the same way. He displays all the facets of his playing in the highly listen-able album. From the shredding solos of "Cut to the Chase" to the almost blues-grunge of "Sleaze Factor" to the quiet strains of the Bach-inspired "Point Counterpoint," the whole album is sonically stunning.

It's not just a guitar-orgy though, bassist Dave LaRue adds some incredible beats and soloing. Highly recommended for anyone who likes Satriani-style guitar instrumentals.

Customer Reviews:

Instrumental Paradise!.......2007-06-30

I don't have the words to describe how fantastic this record is but i'll give it a try. I have loads of instrumentals in my cd collection, the very best in guitar instrumentals, Vai, Satriani and such. I have many jazz- rock fusion instrumentals, Jeff Beck, Alan Holdsworth and such but this Alan Morse/Four O'clock and Hysteria is the iceing on top of my instrumental cake. This group of musicians have really outdone themselves. I can not pigeon hole this cd into any genre, except to say it is otherworldly. Very uplifting, great to listen to whatever you are doing, sitting in a chair, working out at the gym, driving down the highway,etc. To any music lover, go buy this! It's worth every penny. Yes, Spock's Beard is much better WITHOUT Neal's tunnel vision lyrics. The Beard has it's own identity now.

The right way for a guitarist to do a debut solo album.......2007-06-04

There's no question that all the members of Spock's Beard have displayed mastery of their respective instruments over the years, so it shouldn't be any surprise that guitarist Alan Morse might attempt a solo album, right? But what IS a big surprise (for those of us who know him only from his playing with the Beard) is the kind of music he's chosen to play here. First of all, it's all instrumental - pretty radical when you think of some of the complex vocal tunes (e.g. "Thoughts" and "Gibberish") that SB is known for. And secondly, it's a guitar fusion album - nothing like the symphonic prog-pop of SB1 or the prog-metal of SB2. This is a very enjoyable album with 63 minutes of creative melodies and energy, a little funk thrown in on some tunes, and even some Spanish guitar stylings. Morse wrote all of the compositions, with assistance from his brother Neal in places. (I think I know that guy from somewhere too!) Reminiscent at various times of the rock fusion of guitar virtuosos Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and Jeff Beck, this album is a real pleasant surprise for me, and a great showcase for the talents of one Alan Morse. Well done!

I value interesting music that is played and recorded well. This cd's rating was based on:
Music quality = 8.8/10; Performance = 9/10; Production = 9/10; CD length = 10/10.
Overall score weighted on my proprietary scale = 9.0 ("4-1/2 stars")

Don't think Prog, think awesome............2007-05-23

Don't buy this album expecting Spock's Beard prog rock. This album is a mix fantastic melodic Jazz Fusion and cool rock that reminds me of Satriani's slower blues-ier tracks. The playing is top-notch but never decends into showing off, everything is rooted in Alan's beautifully melodic playing.

Al's The Greatest!.......2007-05-22

This is so much better than I had expected - top-notch melodies and playing, excellent arrangements - and even a sort-of the Beards reunion on 'Return To Whatever'. If there's any drawback at all, I'd say that the album would have been even better with less keyboards.

Alan's Playing Hysteria!.......2007-05-01

Wow! I almost could not believe what I was hearing. I didn't know that he had it in him to do a record like this. His playing in Spocks Beard is great, but I had no idea he could play rock-fusion like this! This CD instantly reminded me of a cross between Jeff Beck and Steve Vai! What an interesting piece of work. It was great to also hear Jerry Goodman on violin on the track "Return to Whatever". It is a very Mahavishnu/Return To Forever sounding piece played with real excitement here. The opening track is killer too. Great to also hear Neal Morse rock out once again without getting all preachy and spiritual. This is the best thing he's played on since Transatlantic. Who knew his brother was such an amazing artist in his own right. Very Highly recommended!

Album Description

This album is shrouded in mystery. Temporarily called 'The Secret Project' and now appropriately titled simply "?", this CD consists of one 55 minute track that explores the mysteries of God. It is pure prog heaven with all the earmarks of Neal's previous work plus development into new areas. This is a dazzling piece of music that some are already calling Neal's best work yet. From heavy sections where Alan Morse (Neal's brother and fellow founder of neo-prog giants 'Spock's Beard') and Jordan Rudess from Dream Theater trade solos, to sections that feature the massively creative mind of Mr. Roine Stolt (Flower Kings) that bring back recollections of Neal's other ex-band Transatlantic, this album is a progressive rock fans dream! Built on the musical foundation of multi-award winning drummer Mike Portnoy and the bass of Ajalon's Randy George, this is another instant classic from the creator of "Snow" and "Bridge Across Forever". Featuring a guest appearance by original Genesis guitar wizard Steve Hackett. As for the subject matter of the album: Neal says "If you show someone a door and say 'here's a door, walk through it' they'll probably say 'forget it'! But, if you show them a wall and say 'there's a door here somewhere…find it!' it becomes much more interesting. It is always more interesting when you find something for yourself rather than someone showing you something they found."

Customer Reviews:

What's the Title?.......2007-03-12

I figured I'd write my review on this since I wrote a review on Sola Scriptura today. With this release Neal really isn't trending in any new direction musically. The overall concept is a good one for the spiritual angle. No one in Christian music today is taking theme's like Neal and exploring them musically. Christian artists today are very staisfied to record the same worship songs over and over and over again hoping the public will buy them. Neal, at least, has the guts to step up and deliver a solid performance and deliver some very unique material that not one Christian artist would even consider doing today. Hats off. As always this cd has all the trademarks of Spock's and Transatlantic which goes without saying that it blows away anything else out there.

A prog masterpiece...keep your minds open.......2007-03-08

I won't re-hash what the other reviewers have already said so eloquently. To sum it up, this album is indeed wonderful, "a masterpiece," and IMHO should be added to any serious prog rock listener's catalog. There simply aren't many artists/bands out there today putting out this level of quality music. To dismiss Neal Morse because of his lyrics will cause you to miss out on some outstanding, cutting-edge music.

As an open-minded Christian, I would like to offer this up to all the non-religious reviewers. I happen to like the group Pagans Mind (now what is a Christian doing listening to them?). I like them because they totally rock. Yes, they may be singing about aliens, constellations, and other worlds (kinda cheesy), but I can get past that and enjoy the music: mind-bending guitar work, hammering drums, and the soaring melodies.

All I ask is that you do the same with Neal Morse...enjoy the music because it is absolutely top-notch, and keep an open mind when it comes to the lyrics.

Another amazing album from Neal.......2007-02-15

? was Neal's third solo prog album and deals with the topic of the Tabernacle, which, to my understanding, was a traveling temple the Old Testament Jewish tribes used for worship. This ? album is basically one long piece of music split amongst its 12 tracks, bookended by The Temple of the Living God. In addition to the usual stellar solo band Neal has (Randy George and Mike Portnoy), there are also some killer guest stars, like his brother (and former Spock's Beard bandmate) Alan Morse, Portnoy's Dream Theater bandmate Jordan Rudess, Steven Hackett (original Genesis guitarist) and more. I can't really pull a highlight out of here....from the sweeping Temple of the Living God to the beautiful 12 to the anthemic Solid As the Sun, this is an album of staggering beauty and power.

I'll leave it to others to hash out an interpretation and to explain it to you. Take your own interpretation of the lyrics (which I see as the story of how early Christians replaced the tabernacle-style worship of the ancient Jews with worshipping Jesus' divinity as the Messiah) and enjoy this album musically and lyrically. Discover Neal's other solo albums, his incredible work with Spock's Beard and Transatlantic, and get ready for what looks to be a frigging AWESOME new solo album this March 2007 (Sola Scriptura).

Excellent symphonic progressive rock.......2006-12-12

Don't be misled by religious fanatics who confuse an album review with an opportunity to express their jaded dogma. This is about the music and Morse has created a wonderful journey with this cd that is more than satisfactory. Just the fact that he has Mike Portnoy on the drums should be enough to entice fans of this genre but when you add Steve Hackett and Jason Rudess to the mix it becomes a no-brainer. The fact that the subject matter is the temple of God shouldn't be a problem and if it is then simply imagine that he's talking about Greek mythology or something and you'll be fine. It's not preachy or holier-than-thou at all. Let the artist express himself, I say. At times his Genesis and King Crimson influences surface but, in the end, he stays true to himself and delivers a unique concept album that is never boring and always challenging and entertaining.

Progressing Confusion.......2006-10-04

When an artist like Neal takes the time to put forth his personal religious dogma/doctrine on his album he is telling us that it is important to him to convey that dogma/doctrine. If we ignore it we do him an injustice, and end up with only a superficial appreciation for his work. Neal, according to his own website has attempted to put his views of God on this album. There seems to be a lot of confusion about Neal Morse, and maybe his recent statements on his website will help clear things up. Some people still haven't figured out that Neal Morse is a religious guy, others seem to confuse Neal Morse's religion with Christianity. Neal Morse is not a Christian, at least not in any historical sense of the term. Neal Morse denies the doctrine of the Trinity, and has a view of Jesus Christ that is akin to that of the Watchtower Cult. To Neal Morse Jesus is just a created being, a very nice created being, but a created being nonetheless. Neal's own website states that he has tried to put his views on this particular issue in this album. If you are a Jehovah's Witness, deny the deity of Christ, or can have a merely superficial appreciation for Neal's music than this album will be great for you. Otherwise take a pass on this indoctrination in heresy.

Album Description

2 Disc Box set including a booklet of "Testimony notes" with Neal's reflections on each track. . ARTIST BIO:: When NEAL MORSE left SPOCK'S BEARD, the band he founded with his brother in Los Angeles in 1992, legions of SB fans around the world were left wondering if they would hear from Neal ever again. To many fans, SPOCK'S BEARD was Neal, or at least Neal's musical vision. As the band's primary songwriter and lead vocalist, the only apparent reason to leave the highly acclaimed musical juggernaut at the height of their global popularity, would be to set away from music all together...

History...

Neal grew up in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles throughout the 60's and 70's. His father was a choral director and his influence on Neal was quite significant, teaching him to harmonize at an early age and exposing him to many different styles of music. Neal began taking piano lessons at the age of five, sang lead in the opera "Amahl and the Night Visitors" at the tender age of nine, and picked up the guitar soon afterwards. Throughout his twenties, Neal wrote about a million songs and played all over Los Angeles trying to get a deal as a singer/songwriter. In between writing two full-scale musicals, Neal also played sessions for Al Stewart, Peter White and Skipper Wise amongst others.

In his early thirties, Morse grew restless with the LA scene and packed up his things to go travel around Europe, busking in the streets and playing in small clubs. Neal found the experience to be quite valuable and after having played all over Hamburg, Berlin and Paris, he returned to the US and decided to form the band Spock's Beard with his brother Alan. Recruiting a line up of top session musicians, the band recorded it's debut album, "The Light" in 1994, an album which critics have called one of the best progressive albums of the last ten years. The band (with Neal) has recorded five studio albums and one live album ("Beware Of Darkness", "The Kindness Of Strangers", "Day For Night", "V", "Snow" and "The Beard Is Out There - Live") and have been hailed as one of the best progressive bands on the scene.

In 2002, after the release of Spock's Beard's epic 2 CD concept album "Snow", Neal inexplicably left the group. The timing could not have been stranger, as "Snow" received unanimous beaming reviews from writers around the world.

Well, fortunately for his audience and seemingly overnight, Neal is far from done, and is more likely just getting started. In similar step with his SPOCK'S BEARD swansong "Snow", Neal has fashioned yet another double disc of stunning music. "Testimony" is a new beginning for Neal, and a glorious musical beginning it is. Neal's musical output is, for lack of a better word, staggering. 21 tracks include all the elements Neal has become famous for, a cappella multi-harmonic vocal sections, thought provoking lyrics and the top shelf musicianship lacking in most popular music today. Neal has broadened his musical breadth on "Testimony" including, for the first time, members of the NASHVILLE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA. Neal even has even gone so far as to reach out to one of his own musical influences, KERRY LIVGREN (KANSAS), who graciously contributed to "Testimony". Long time friend and TRANSATLANTIC collaborator, MIKE PORTNOY (Dream Theater) also refused to be left behind, and can be heard behind the drum kit on the entire album. You can hear Neal's newfound enthusiasm on "Testimony", it's the sound of a modern musical master, and quite a testimony it is.

Customer Reviews:

Neal's first post-Beard solo album is amazing.......2007-03-10

I think the title of my review says it all. Testimony was released a year after Neal quit Spock's Beard and its 2 CDs are basically his autobiography as told through music. There was genuine concern among fans whether we'd ever hear from Neal musicall again. As an artistic achievement as well as a musical work, it is quite simply stunning. Neal plays guitars, bass, and keyboards and handles all the lead vocals. He's joined (as he is on all of his post-Beard solo discs) by the superb Mike Portnoy on drums as well as a cast of musicians on strings and backing vocals.

The double disc set starts with Neal singing about the "Land of Beginning Again" before busting into a killer Overture, No.1 to be exact. I'm not going to go into detail here as this album is long and has so many high spots (2 hours!). However, some of my favorites that stick out are the 3 overtures, Ready to Try, Break of Day, California Nights, The Prince of the Power of the Air, Sleeping Jesus, and the suite containing Oh Lord My God.

As far as story goes, the album chronicles Neal's attempts in his 20s to make it in the California singer/songwriter scene, where he played loads of long gigs for little pay. Getting depressed and bitter and dumped by his girlfriend, he hits his lowest ebb as he enters his early 30s. However, he begins to pary and go to church. He moves to Nashville, meets his future wife, gets married, starts having kids, Spock's Beard begins to take off, and he's finally a huge success. But something inside him is restless, and through his spiritual quest, he embraces his Christian faith, leaves the Beard after 8 years and 6 KILLER albums (culminating in his opus with SB, Snow), and begins anew with this disc. Obviously I wish Neal hadn't quit the Beard, but they and he have both done fine since the split.

Even though I am a devout Christian, I usually run the other direction screaming from Christian music. However, Neal's lyrics can be positive and uplifting even if you don't agree with his Christian message, and the musicianship and passion with which all of his work comes across is certainly worth the price of admission alone.

In short, this is a stunning achievement and well worth your time!

Why did I wait?.......2007-02-26

You know, it's almost impossible to not address this as a Christian work - but don't jump down my throat until you read the next paragraph:

I truly feel like an IDIOT because I let my Agnosticism keep me from purchasing any of Neal's Christian albums. Truthfully, that was absolutely THE DUMBEST REASON ON EARTH not to buy this. (And I not only bought this disc, I bought "?" and "One," which I also love.)

As a fan of Neal-era Spock's Beard, and Transatlantic, I should have gotten this MUCH sooner than I did. If one is to look at religion as an intellectual topic rather than a spiritual one, then you really should have no problem with this album. Consider also that Mr. Portnoy is Jewish, and apparently could put his own religious beliefs aside to play on Neal's Christian works. So, really, if he can get over it, why can't you?

Now that we've gotten that out of the way ... this is perhaps Neal's masterwork, and one that should be in any progressive rock fan's library. This isn't too far off of the Spock's Beard path, nor the Transatlantic path - it's just more epic in scope. The orchestrations and arrangements are nothing sort of brilliant. Neal's sense of melody and thematic development have always been what drew me to all of his work - that, and the amount of sonic diversity that you get, both within an album as a whole, and very often within the context of a single track. If this is what you like about Neal's work, then you will not be disappointed in the least. The playing here is top notch as well - when have you heard Mike Portnoy not turn in a jaw dropping performance on the drums? - and lyrically, I don't suppose you can get much more personal than this; Whether or not you care about Jesus or God or any of that, this is Neal's story. And if you respect the man and his work, you can put your personal hangups aside to listen to him.

My only regret is that I didn't get over mine sooner. And while this album has not affected my views on Christianity, it certainly made me consider the amount of cynicism and hypocrisy in my life had reached ridiculous levels when I let something like religious beliefs (or lack thereof) get in the way of listening to something that is so compositionally brilliant and truly a work of genius.

Essential Neal Morse solo music.......2007-02-06

This CD tells the story of a musician struggling both professionaly and spiritually. The songs are well crafted and full of excellent musicianship with some high caliber guest musicians including Kerry Livgren and Mike Portnoy (who is still Neal's studio drummer).

The second disc has some pretty powerful musical/spiritual moments that will really move anyone who is not closed off to Christianity.

conversion to christianity.......2006-06-14

insofar as music expresses and conveys human emotions and experience, neal got music. neal got tune. neal got soul. if anyone knows of a better musical representation of the human experience of conversion to christianity (tumoil/conflict -> inspiration/revelation -> peace) than the four tracks on the 2nd cd: In the Middle, The Storm Before the Calm, Oh, to Feel Him, God's Theme, please tell me. beyond these four tracks, there are many other memorable high points on this work. the totality of neal's contribution to christian music in a few short years (testimony / one / ?) is mind-boggling. hard to believe he's not a "cradle-christian". wow. i'm a fan.

Not merely for the ears..........2006-06-01

This is amazing stuff. Music for the heart, not only for the ears. Morse met Jesus and found LIFE. This music is incredibly alive!

Album Description

Progressive/Christian Rock ARTIST BIO: At long last. The holy grail of prog! Take great artists like NEAL MORSE, MIKE PORTNOY and PHIL KEAGGY and put them together and...LOOK OUT! Here's how one reviewer put it: "Take Transatlantic, the orchestral beauty of Testimony and some clear nods to the prog greats of Genesis, YES, and Gentle Giant, along with some lesser pop sounds like old Tears For Fears and some Who derived moments and Neal's inescapable Beatles influence and you have it all." This is ONE great album! He goes on to say: "Speaking of Portnoy. Hold on to your socks! There are some absolute freak out moments of drum god envy going on! I mean that guy has done some freaky stuff with Dream Theater to say the least but there are a couple of tunes on here like "Author Of Confusion" that were seemingly written to give Portnoy the opportunity to shine, I dare say, brighter than ever before!" Here's what Neal had to say about it: "The Lord works in mysterious ways. I never thought this album was going to turn out as good as I think it has. I was stuck writing it for months. All along feeling like I needed help, knowing I had something, but also knowing it wasn't quite 'there'. I felt like it needed collaborators, but had no idea who those collaborators were. Then, along came Randy George (who was part of the Testimony band) and the correct missing words and music seemed to just roll off the tip of his tongue. He would say a line and I would shake my head, stunned, saying 'wow... that's IT!' Enter Mike Portnoy who is not just a master drummer but also a master at arranging parts and musical passages and almost immediately it took shape and was, well, almost PERFECT! Can you tell I'm excited?"

This album essentially tells the story of man's creation/separation/reunion with God. But, of course, that is not unique. What's unique about this album is the way in which the familiar story is told, with sweeping grand passages as well as heavy prog and emotionally wrenching songs, this is truly a unique album the likes of which has never been attempted before.

Also featured on the album is the guitar work and vocals of the great PHIL KEAGGY who also sings a duet with Neal ("The Cradle to the Grave").

Customer Reviews:

Neal Morse.......2007-06-08

This is an ambitious and interesting listen, and worth purchasing for the arrangements alone - though in all honesty it is recorded and mixed as a somewhat dynamically limited album, and that is too bad - as it is instrumentally and lyrically quite provocative... but also about 10 years out of date - late or early I cannot say. But it is not resonating with me (as of yet) in a powerful way.

One of the prime reasons for this is that this is regrettably only an average album on the basis of vocal performance. Neal Morse obviously has great vision and executes well, but simply doesn't have the pipes to front this type of music, a range equal to Jon Andersons or Larry Normans (as it IS a Christian album) would be really welcome... that being said - I am still glad I bought it - as it is unique. Neal should seriously consider partnering with a singer capable of realizing more versatility and the best in this music.

Stunning Solo Prog Debut from this genius.......2007-02-15

After making a couple of singer-songwriter type solo albums while still a member of Spock's Beard, Neal Morse started making solo prog albums once he left the Beard in 2002. One is his second one, and is stunning. The band he has assembled (which has played on ALL of his solo prog outings...Randy George on bass and Mike Portnoy on drums) is spectacular, as is Neal's virtuosity on the keyboards, piano, guitars, and vocals.

For me the standouts on this disc are the two 20 minute epics The Creation and The Separated Man, and the metal riff-fest Author of Confusion. However, this entire albums is just amazing. It tells the story of a man's spiritual separation and eventual rebirth with God. Don't let the religious themes of Neal's solo prog albums deter you. Even though I myself am a devout Christian, I cringe away from any Christian Rock...however, Neal is not beating you over the head with it, and rarely does he prosteletyze.

If you are a fan of Spock's Beard, Dream Theater, Rush, or just damn good prog, this is a can't-miss album.

Neal Really Shines.......2007-02-14

I have never had an album have the effect that this album has had on me. I actually emailed Neal to thank him personally for writing this album and listening to God's call in his life, The Man is BLESSED. I have read probably every review here, and I would say the only negative ones are those who are self absorbed humanists who can't bare the thought of someone not believing we came from monkeys. If you don't like God, that is a personal problem, don't trash Neal because he see's something that you Wont!!! and I stress WONT!!!!. Musically you can not deny how awesome this album is. Being a Christian, Neal has touched every emotion in me. I am a biker with a rough and tough look and former background which God changed when I accepted Jesus. I have to say hearing "From the cradle to the grave" crippled me with tears, as does the rest of the album as I sit back and listen to Neal paint the picture of the lengths that a loving God will go to just to reconcile us to himself. For those who are offended, I am sorry you feel that way, because Neal really has captured the love that God has for you, and I didn't find this album to be the least bit condemning. I highly recommend this album, especially if you are a Christian who enjoys harder edged rock and prog. I do not feel this album should be judged on the lyrics alone, the music is absolutely superb, especially with the likes of Mike Portnoy on drums, and Randy George on bass, and a guest appearance by Phil Keaggy. This album can't be beat

Pretty Special.......2007-01-20

"One" is a pretty special album. There was a time where it never left my CD player, I really enjoy it. Pretty emotional in places. There's some beautiful music here, big but intimate, with some interesting sounds and styles along the way: synths, strings, bit of brass, some guitars and drumming too. It's a concept album of man and God, full of clever Christian imagery.

Real christian prog.......2006-11-24

I finally found a prog music with solid christian lyrics in a mix of wisdom and virtuousity. "The creation" really leads you to figure out the begining in absolute amazing harmony along the themes. "Author of confusion" is other gem that shows Neal's creativity to sing about the enemy's tricks. Well, I just want to give thanks to Neal,Mike and Randy for their music!
