Review by Mellotron Storm
PROG REVIEWER
4 stars This was the second in a series of cdrs made available by the band to their fans. Once again we get a very spacey, mellotron dominated album that drifts along in dark space.

"Diabolica" is haunting to start with mellotron rolling in after 1 1/2 minutes. Experimental sounds 7 minutes in and at 10 minutes. An electronic beat follows a minute later as the spacey soundscape continues. Guitar after 15 minutes and it continues crying out loudly after 19 1/2 minutes. It starts to calm right down 28 minutes in. Mellotron 31 minutes in. Nice. Guitar after 37 minutes. What a great track.

"Blaze Dispersion" takes it's title from a collision between weed and a thesaurus apparently. It opens with crackling sounds and a heavy pulsating beat. It turns spacey 1 1/2 minutes in then the rhythm returns. Mellotron before 6 1/2 minutes. An electronic beat comes in and builds after 10 minutes and continues to about the 22 minute mark. I like when the mellotron returns 19 1/2 minutes in. "Upstairs Downstairs" features these spacey winds, guitar then a beat.The guitar is killer in this one.

Well I think I like this a little more than the first cdr from the band called "Burned & Frozen" but both are incredible.
