This mini-album is rather a pleasant moment of fresh and inventive music. There are lots of style
combined in this EP (almost half an hour of music though). The pièce of résistance of this work is the long "The Bright Ambassadors of Morning" which features sophisticated and diversified vocals which are at times "Gentle Giant" oriented! They are combined with some atmospheric and repetitive mood, quite like PT. The whole sounds heavy space-rock and it's quite enjoyable I must say. This track should work very well while played live. The second long track of this EP, or dual song since "Arrival" is combined with "The Intention Craft" is also an energetic one. The filiation with PT is not a coincidence any longer. The addition of some female vocal is a nice counterpart and brings a softer tone with theis strong backing music. The same remark about "Gentle Giant" sorts of vocals is also present at the start of "He Tried To Show Them Magic". They are not so high pitched, but the style is pretty similar. As far as the music is concerned, this song is very melodic but with a hard/heavy feeling added on. A good combination indeed. This EP is the first PRR work I have been in contact with. It might well encourage me to go and see them live during the next prog conference in the legendary "Spirit Of 66" in Verviers" next month. The band is dynamic and the music provided is modern, it combines spacey and atmospheric parts with more upbeat ones. Seven out of ten. Three stars.
