The debut album from this band from USA.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
This band has self-released their albums and they are difficult to find. I have managed to find another one of their many albums and that one will be reviewed later this month.
The leader of the band is Mark Jeffrey Dye, the sound technician for the likes of Van Halen and Gino Vannelli. He has also done the sound for some movies.
This one hour long album is a homage to the great prog and pomp rock bands of this world. The likes of Styx, Kansas, Genesis, Yes and even Gentle Giant, Focus and King Crimson. Each of the eleven original songs has elements of the respective band's music. The twelfth song is a cover of Across The Universe by The Beatles.
The music is mostly in the US neo-prog and pomp rock vein.
The vocals are a bit in the Jon Anderson vein. The sound is a bit too much in the 1990 plastic fantastic vein.
The result is a decent album which will please the fans of US prog rock. Check it out.
