The debut album from this band from USA.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, violin and vocals.
This album did not come to my attention before this summer and I put it in the to-do reviews a couple of months ago based on the genre and the nice cover art-work.
From what I gather, the musicians is some young musicans, just starting out on what I and they hope will be a long career. They are certainly very talented musicians.
The album starts out as a fusion album in the vein of Jean Luc Ponty. And the music on this seventy minutes long album is mainly following this path.
There are two exceptions, though. The two vocals dominated songs.
The first one, The Last Words She Left is a poignant song in the vein of Epitaph from the first King Crimson album. A very good song with some good vocals.
The second song is a part of an eighteen minutes long epic and the song is good too... although with a bit of a faltering vocals.
The fusion stuff is very good and we are in this album talking about a hidden gem. A gem that deserve a lot more attention.
Check out this album even if only prog floats your boat.
