4 stars I like Kevin Moore a lot, I liked his work with DREAM THEATER and FATES WARNING, and his present project OSI. And there is something special about his vocals, as soon as I hear him sing I smile. "Dead Air For Radios" is a masterpiece in my opinion and this the follow-up while not quite as good is still a very strong album.

"Get Back In The Car" is classic CHROMA KEY with that steady beat and Kevin's understated vocals. Some keys in this one too. Processed vocals late. "Another Permenant Address" again has a steady beat as vocals come in. I like the vocals better on this one than the first track. Keys and some heaviness follow. "Nice To Know" is slower with a heavier sound. Vocals come in. Great tune. "Lunar" opens with spoken vocals then a beat with piano comes in. We get a sample from "Mission Control" speaking while the beat and piano continues. The spoken words are about Apollo 11 and their condition. This continues throughout. Cool song.

"When You Drive" is funny. A man talking about positive thinking and saying that when you come to a red light you should smile at the red light, make it your friend. Haha. He goes on and on, all the while a heavy beat continues with synths and keys. Maybe it's an anger managment course, although I think Budda is mentioned. Female vocals come and go. "Subway" opens with a heavy beat and keys. Processed vocals join in. Excellent sound after 3 minutes as it gets pretty intense. "Please Hang Up" features electronics and an operator speaking. "Astronaut Down" has a good beat with what sounds like Mission Control again speaking. Processed vocals follow then Mission Control joins in again. This continues throughout although Kevin's vocals stop being processed. "You Go Now" is kind of spacey with a beat. Piano comes in and samples of someone speaking.

Very much in the same style as "Dead Air For Radios" and another winner.
