I am a huge fan of this band which I compared in the beginning to MARILLION. This
band, I feel have more edge than the former and always have. Great musicianship and
arrangements are a trademark of their work and it is never more evident than in this CD.
There are several highlights to this album and much to like, starting with the
instrumental "RIDING THE TIDE" which is the statement piece for the band in terms of
their ability to constuct and perform engaging and moving progressive material. They
just let it rip and turn it loose on this track and display a power and majesty
rarely pulled off in this genre anymore.
Also of particular interest is "SKIN GAME" which is an eerie but fun track as well as
another instrumental track "THIS WAY MADNESS COMES."
This CD is one of the boldest prog CD's I've heard because very few bands can walk
the line between prog - metal and neo/symphonic prog as well as these fellows. I
strongly recommend it to any collector because regardless of who your original prog
band favorite is (GENESIS is mine) you can find something to love about it, rather it
be one song, two or more.
