Description/Reviews:

The majority of the material here is atmospheric in sound, spirit and execution, with floating keyboard and Mellotron sounding textures provided in liberal amounts with classical symphonic oriented arrangements making quite a few appearances too. The guitars adds depth and darkness in places and is also the provider of some fine, secondary harmonies throughout. While accessible and generally open and appealing in nature, some of the songs gets additional flavor by the inclusion of effects that can be harsh, quirky and at times truly dramatic in nature, which does add quite a bit of flavor to the proceedings. By and large this is more of an atmospheric laden creation however, and while there are songs here that probably are closer to symphonic progressive rock in nature I would suggest those with an interest in neo-progressive rock might be the audience that will find this album most appealing.
