OUTSIDE THE SCREEN

"Outside the Screen" rolls into your ears from without. Very cool. It shimmers with the guitar-organ interplay. There's something "cowboy" about this haha. More precisely though, Southern Rock goings on?

"Johnny the Player" is hurried and quirky. Soft vocals. The guitar glimmers here and then blazes in solo. Interesting to see this all on ProgArchives, but then my mind does go to the fact that The ARISTOCRATS exist--from the viewpoint from this album, though, they don't have much to offer in the way they do.

"Tree on a Hill" is very sort of classic and sweet. Very lowly music. Very low to the ground. A common vibe here.

"If I Turned Left" begins with a sort of tribal hit of the toms. It meanders softly. There's something that reminds me of perhaps More by PINK FLOYD. Very soft and very ominous. Filmscore-ready.

"Magpie" has a sort of rolling nature that to me struck as something that may be found on a BEARDFISH release (and yet the guitar at the end actually reminds me of FRUSCIANTE). But again, everything is mixed so low and soft. It's very much music of a certain vibe, for the sake of textures. It ramps up at the end, but from what?

"Ten Seconds" ironically lasts 44x that haha. Not a whole lot here. Again, music for textures. A tad experimental, psychedelic even.

"Snoring Husband" picks things back up, with rolling rhythms and heavier guitarings. Is it Prog though, here? Not really. And really, I don't have much of anything to say about the closer, "Sikup Sinanni".

Overall, I'm not too impressed. I wouldn't really recommend it for progressive music's sake.

True Rate: 2.5/5.0
