Description/Reviews: 

As with the debut, the reference points would be the likes of Radiohead, Anathema, Antimatter, Mogwai and latter-period Talk Talk. From a more progressive aspect, fans of Gazpacho, Sigur Ros and Kingcrow will enjoy the tone and admire the dynamic variety of this album.

Description/Reviews: 

The first track is a short affair dominated by Gustavson’s keyboards. It’s the crystal clean sound and shimmering beauty of the piece that had me transfixed. Some deep low rumblings add intensity to the mix. “The Searcher” has the band in heavier form with excellent guitar riffs, squelching saxophone and funky bass lines. Add some flute trills and you have the makings of a great track. The grooving/funky bass line in “Under Construction” and a sublime organ solo makes for another strong track. “Freedom And Honor” has a more ethereal and enchanting sound. The bass solo is backed by dreamy keyboards and the tasty guitar solo further adds to the song’s charm. Heavier rock, funk and fusion makes “Wizard Samba” another favourite. The bass solo is pure joy.
