4 stars Chris Squire on steroids?

My first and lasting impression of this release is about the dominant bass practically leading the entire album. Whilst I wouldn't excessively associate the band with YES, Martin Cehra (bass) does sound like Squire at his best - and beyond.

I am rather mesmerized by those heavy chops that remind me of the better bits on "Drama" by YES, an album that was released five years later(!).

I confess that after repeated spins, my attention remains firmly focused on the bass - at the expense of the other instruments. Nevertheless, the music as a whole comes across as very pleasing with reasonable vocals here and there.

Well, if you wanted to hear more of Squire's style when it goes beyond of just keeping the bottom, then I couldn't think of a better example than this album. On any account, this work is pretty good throughout and would represent an excellent addition - no doubt.

BORA | 4/5 |
