LAPSE OF TIME

Open the Paintbox

Neo-Prog

From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

Listening to Lapse of Time by Open The Paintbox felt like embarking on a journey. From the very first notes, I was completely drawn in. Angelica Esposito's voice moved me deeply, floating above rich textures and haunting melodies. The keyboard work is especially outstanding. As for the guitar lines, the choice of the notes is very mindful and colorful. I especially appreciated the timing of the solos and the tone. The 27- minute title track left me speechless, as if I had lived a lifetime in a little less than half an hour. There is a rare sincerity in this music that touched something spiritual within me. Absolutely recommended.

I really loved the album. I listened to it with a nice drink, and the music created a truly immersive atmosphere ? one that felt dreamlike and profound. I'm particularly fond of how the music reflects on the theme of time as an inner dimension, something deeply personal and emotional rather than linear. Each track unfolds organically in the "lapse of time" of the album, allowing space for introspection, and the interplay between the instruments and vocals feels thoughtful. You can notice echoes of classic progressive rock ? Genesis in particular ? mixed with an individuality that make this album stand as an interesting addition to the contemporary prog scene. Overall an engulfing meditative experience delivered through music.
