4 stars Puppet Show sure took thir time to release their second outing. But thankfully, the result is good.

Musically it's easy to hear that these guys have been inspired by Genesis as they sounded at their proggiest. Lots of swirling and twirling synthwork here, synth soloes intermixed with guitar soloing, where emotional output is more important than speed. Lots of long songs as well here, themes that are played, repeated and then played again in later stages of songs, a vocalist better on emotion than range the odd mellow break in the songs here and there - all packed in a soft-tinged production.

Hardcore Genesis fans may think this one sound a bit too much like their inspirations; but personally I don't mind. The songs are good, the moods are good, and the music enthralling and hypnotic.

Windhawk | 4/5 |
