4 stars This is madness is a quote from famous recent movie, 300. Yeah, this is quite crazy ride through depths of insanity for some, but it's also very promising album that does things in their own way. This is important as fore-statement because from this, we can move on.

Comparison to ELP seemed funny to me at the first look but actually, there is a lot of truth in this statement, even I'm not expert on ELP or Elephant9. This is Prog Jazz.

Organs sounds unusually old, like if they opened the grave and used something from Prog Rock bands inventory.

Sad thing is that I suppose that some of you will find this so "weird" to comprehend or appreciate. I myself feels that previous two Jazz experts were far more happy with this one than I am, even I quite like it. When feeling in need of adventure, Progression as I understand it, I choose this album.

5(-), keyboard is the prominent instrument here, it's almost one man show for these wild solos.

Certainly grower. The more I listen it, the more I like it. When I feel like furious, I listen this. When I want something insane in a good way, I take this.
