5 stars The first album featuring newest member "Rick Armstrong" ... son of Neil Armstrong (1st man on the moon). Though this isn't the usual concept album and more of a bridge album... SBHAT has some truly great moments. The original mixes by Jakko (lead singer of King Crimson) really stand out. Also Iluvatar's drummer Chris Mack makes his first appearance with the band. Hoping that Rick is going to bring even more of a Sci-Fi theme to this famed "Haunting Prog" band owned by Classic Rock PROG!'s winner for #1 bassist... Pete Trewavas. Growing Down in Brooklyn is one of the songs that people should really pay attention to here. Great vamp and simple lead which gives the song a very cool melody that sticks in your head (in a good way).

SPECIAL COLLABORATOR
Honorary Collaborator
4 stars English band EDISON'S CHILDREN is the creative vehicle of composer and musician Pete Trewavas, with Eric Blackwood as the only other permanent member. This project has been in development since 2006, and so far three studio albums have surfaced from this collaboration. "Somewhere Between Here and There" is the most recent of these, and was released in 2015.

"Somewhere Between Here and There" comes across as a curious third album from this band. One with just a bit more new material than what one traditionally would release as an EP, expanded to a very full album length by including alternate mixes of older and, in my view, better quality material. An album first and foremost of interest to existing fans as I regard it, although a case may be had for recommending this CD to those interested but still not familiar with the band. Besides this, those who tend to connect with music described as Floydian should find this CD to be compelling, in general.
