HETEROTOPIA

I had the privilege of seeing the first public performance of this new rock opera at Oberon in Cambridge, MA on March 31, 2017 and it was an amazing live show. The album version is just as gripping. I can't stop listening to it.

There is so much about this album that I love, but I really want to call out the excellent piano and vocals by Lainey Schooltree and amazing keyboard work by Peter Danilchuk. This is an ambitious concept album that doesn't feel bombastic or overblown. It's extremely listenable, has a lot of variety and an interesting storyline.

I've listened to a lot of prog and seen some great shows over the years, but this was the first time I've been inspired to post a review and rating - it's that good. Highly recommended!
