The debut album from this band from USA.
This band was a one-man-band with Thomas McLean on drums, bass, guitars and synths.
A handful of guests added male and female vocals.
This is another one of these one-man-bands. Beggars cannot be choosers, as the prog rock genre is not overflowing with new bands... However, I have my reservations.
This album is clocking in at thirty-five minutes.
The music is nominally symphonic prog. There are a lot of neo-classical music here too.
Mike Oldfield and Yes are both good references. Take a blend of those two entities, then add in some old Pink Floyd and you will get the music on this album.
There are some good vocals here in addition to the mainly cascades of synths and keyboards. The synths has a good mellotron sound.
There are some cheesy neo-classical music here too and I believe the composer have composed some of the music with a tongue-in-cheek attitude. A sense of humour in other words.
The result is a more than acceptable debut album. This is also a pretty good album. Despite of my reservations against one-man-bands, I hope we will hear more from this band.
