Sky Architect - A Billion Years Of Solitude (2013)

The third album from this band from The Netherlands.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, clavinet, organ, piano, mellotron, keyboards and vocals.

A guest also added some vocals.

The band returned again with their mix of heavy prog and symphonic prog. That means Porcupine Tree meets Yes.... and you can now add Gentle Giant in the mix too.

The band has taken a long step towards eclectic prog and in particular the music Gentle Giant gave us when they were at their best.

The music here is really, really complex and dense. It is also heavy and eclectic with a lot of references to Yes.

There is a lot of good details here and the vocals is good.

This is the best of their first three albums and well worth checking out. It is also a good album.

3 points
