WHIMSICAL WEATHER

Cirrus Bay has released their new album Whimsical Weather! To start with this is an album which needs repeated listening's since it is intricate in it's artistic musical design. Cirrus Bay is known for it's progressive style of music much like early Genesis or Renaissance. That is still true with this 3rd commercial release. Among my favorite tracks are Wanderlust, Circles and Seasons, and Me And The Wind. Me and the Wind has a hint of Anthony Phillips in it's flow. I also enjoyed Gathering Clouds which is an instrumental piece. Cirrus Bay has come of age with this new album. It is longer than their previous album coming in at just over an hour. There is one thing I would have liked to see again and that is the use of saxophone in their music. It was featured in their first album A Slipping Of A Day. It would have added a bit more dimension to the production. I also want to praise the whole CD artwork and packaging....it is stunning and fits the concept of this album. If you like progressive rock with it's different chord changes and surprises then don't miss out on Cirrus Bay's new offering. Great job Bill Gillham and the Cirrus Bay members.
