Description/Reviews
Well, there's certainly plenty of drama here. Suspense too. And more than a little pathos. It's cinematic all right; this is involving and expansive music that really draws you in. With Kevin Moore adding additional keys and vocals on a few tracks, you probably won't be surprised to hear hints of OSI or Chromakey here and there. But, on the whole, I think we're in darker territory. I'm reminded more of Agalloch and Ulver. Just so we're clear, we're talking ethos, vibes and moods, not sound-alikes. Because In Progress have a wonderful, well-crafted sound that's all their own. Give it time – we could well be crediting them with a new sub-genre – a new wave of cinematic prog.
This isn't heavy in the traditional sense, but it's emotionally heavy music. Tones from a Twisting Verse sets the mood with elegiac synth strings, piano and voice, before a tastefully executed guitar part picks out an affecting melody.
