Description/Reviews:
"Remnants" is Kevin's second full length offering and shows great promise for him as a musician and composer. He lists many influences on his web page but I'll narrow them a bit to Steven Wilson, Gilmour, Mikael Akerfeldt, Petrucci/Rudess, Satriani, Vai, Emerson, Porcupine Tree, Oceansize, dredg, Radiohead, and Depeche Mode. It's fair to say you can hear many of these influences coming through on "Remnants." He describes the album as an "electronic-tinged art rock effort" and this sums it up well. It is very diverse and eclectic, switching mood and genre style quite frequently with great enthusiasm and mojo. Without a live drummer we are subjected to the bane of the one-man band, the programmed electronic drumming. Sometimes this works alright, quite often it doesn't. Here it is acceptable but I'd be lying if I said I didn't long for the real thing. However Geier more than makes up for it in the guitar and keys department, excelling on guitar especially. He's also a decent vocalist.Read the full review by at progarchives.com
