4 stars Imagine yourself in a smoke filled night club of the late fifties, grooving to the heart-melting serenades of a lovely female jazz vocalist as she nails more sharps and flats than a box of knives, and effortlessly hops octaves note-to-note as if her voice knew no range limitations. Imagine also that you plucked away her stogie-puffing jazz-hammering piano player and replaced him with a full-on prog band that can crank out deliciously innovative grooves that accompany her perfectly while being outstanding on their own. If you can imagine that, you've just imagined iNFiNiEN.

This band is amazing and quite innovative in their overall approach to music. The closest band, in a stylistic sense, I can think of is Mad Fellaz from Italy (c.f. "Hollow Shell" on Mad Fellaz II) -- and they're only a vague match stylistically.

I was fortunate enough to see them live at ProgDay in September 2017. There were many bands that played those two days, and iNFiNiEN were one of only two bands that garnered full-audience standing ovations -- the second was Shylock from France. They were clearly one of the highlights of the festival.

This prog album is not only filled with jazz vocal stylings, but you'll hear some funky passages, as well as ethnic-influenced numbers. Vocal surprises abound, and the music just progs-out throughout! Love it! An easy 4.5 stars for innovativeness and execution!
