Description/Reviews:
The second album from the solo project of Californian Jeff Ramponi again occupies that area of heavy prog vacated by Porcupine Tree.Read the full review by Jim Cornall at dprp.net
The opener, Ephemera, is heavy, even complete with subliminal 'grunts', but it's on the next piece, The Talisman, where the PT influences come thick and fast, both instrumentally and vocally. Autumn Elixir is a little less PT but still gives importance to melody, and the well-constructed piece certainly flows nicely.
Whispering of the Woods takes it down a notch, but is no less impressive. It feels more like an interlude, albeit a pretty one, which sounds a little like early Anthony Phillips, until the drums kick in.
