3 stars 3.5 stars for sure

Blurring the Lines ... A Democracy Manifest is the third album released in 2018 by this excelllent instrumental heavy prog band from USA. I must confess I like the cover art a lot aswell the booklet and all art.

Well, this is better and more intristing then previous work Fantasy absent and maybe from their first one, solid palying and good musicianship by all mebmers involved. There are lots of audio lanscapes to get into, nice breaks, nice tempo changes, beautiful piano and keyboards, top guitar parts and solid drumming all over, aswell the bass lines are intresting - just to be checked the marvelous Return to Slender, a touch of jazzy passages can be found here and there giving a super atmosphere overall, maybe my fav track from here, followed by Another Afterthought. I hear some King Crimson influences overall specially from Red album era - The Trapper's Daughter is the perfect example, who is btw killer tune.

So, another goody from this band, who try and succeed to improve with each album, to keep an eye on for sure, they desearve it. Quirky instrumental heavy prog with all the ingredients to be spectacular. 3.5 stars for sure for fans of King Crimson, Djam Karet, Quantum Fantay, etc
