LIVING WATER

• Life Fantastic Living Water, 2011

US band TIME HORIZON can trace their roots back to 2004, when Ralph Otteson and Bruce Gaetke started working on a project. The cooperation leads to a friendship and a band in that order, Time Horizon born somewhere along the way. "Living Water" is their debut album, and was released through Angel Noise Records in the summer of 2011.

Time Horizon has made an accomplished debut album with "Living Water", where the first half in particular impresses with its distinctly harmonic, melodic and uplifting variety of symphonic progressive rock. The AOR and pomp rock tendencies on the second half aren't as enticing to my ears, but pleasant enough material as such. Fans of bands like Saga and Spock's Beard should be something of a target audience for this band I presume, in particular if you don't mind lyrical topics of a religious nature.
