3 stars Canadian band Greylevel are something else in the world of progressive music today.

In a time when progressive metal is the all popular style, when big and majestic soundscapes are easily made due to the technology available, Greylevel goes solidly against the norm.

They excel in creating mellow and lush soundscapes, where movement and tempo is slow, where every tone is explored to it's full extent.

The main problem with Greylevel is that the music becomes rather too lush at times though. Even new age veterans like Gandalf and Kitaro have some nerve and tension in their music - or at least some elements that manages to captivate you.

Greylevel are more based in rock than new age, but even so that captivating element seems to be missing from too many parts of these otherwise interesting melodic explorations. Still, it is a promising release, and these guys aren't that far away from making a truly good album here.

Windhawk | 3/5 |
