GATHERING SPEED

This is a lovely piece of yesteryear progressive rock with modern flavours, which BBT are able to meld better than most un-original prog rock bands of today, these humble boys are not in it for competitiveness, there are so many neo prog bands that are so hung up on being better or more complicated than everyone else that they miss the point completely, nothing progresses -this is the great paradox in prog, 'prog' and 'progressive music' are sometimes two different things i find, where is the soul? where is the progression? back to this album... its mellow its subtle, its not a masterpiece but its close! its clever, its thought evoking, its all these things and more, what i like are the colours and textures cleverly intertwined and hidden deep below the surface of what you may think of at first as being oh no! "not another neo prog release."
