2 stars The influences from 70s prog great are obvious. King Crimson is a name that pops up immediately. But it's far from as adventurous as these prog pioneers.

The compositions are mostly pleasant. However, I never feel like I'm hearing something special or new. Even dramatic build-ups come across as mechanical to me. The first track has snippets of ITCOTCK, Larks and Starless but I prefer the originals.

What strikes me is that the different sections of the pieces are all well played, but they lack a certain spirit and I am not fond of the often sudden transitions.

Decent album, but for fans only. 2 stars.
