Starting to take form.

Cynic improved on almost every level with this release. The famous bassist Tony Choy is featured on this demo. This man later played with Atheist, Pestilence and a few other key metal bands. The music is less thrash, but still has a decent fill of it. Too much for me to call this a good addition, but this is three times more technical then anything they have put out before this album. The guitar solos are up to snuff just as much as all the technical guitarists that made it big, keep in mind the musicians were very young here. On a final note, the production is also much better; the prior demo's production was almost too unbearable for me to even listen to.

Still to thrashy for the typical proggers, but the music starts getting interested with this one.
