ONES & ZEROS - VOLUME 1

Once again, I can thank PA for introducing me to what is fast becoming one of my favorite bands. I was introduced to them after getting a copy of their previous album, The Long Division, and immediately knew I was in for something special, and I was right. So I didn't hesitate in obtaining a copy of their latest offering, Ones & Zeros: Vol. 1. It's music that just grabs the listener, and gets better and better with each subsequent spin. And although it's Pop Prog at its finest, with all the catchy hooks that you find yourself humming when you least expect it, it is also very intelligent, musically and lyrically, with luscious harmonic twists that show off their musicianship and songwriting prowess. All of the musicians are top notch, but the combination of George Dobbs' outstanding lead vocals and original founding member Robert James Pashman's grinding bass lines highlights their talent. And if you love lush multi-part vocal harmonies, you will absolutely love this album...a masterpiece of music, easily 5 stars.
