I saw this band open for Shellac in Cookeville, TN, and they knocked my socks off. It took a while for me to find any recordings of theirs anywhere, but then I learned of this, their second (and unfortunately, last) full-length album. The music is mostly instrumental, with sonic references to King Crimson and Rush, with some Tool influence as well. I bought the album on a whim and it has become one of my all-time favorites. This is music with as many textures as a growing mind needs while bringing rock that does not stop. You will NOT regret picking this up.

I listen to a lot of prog rock. Since we all want to reference similar bands or tunes to a band, let me suggest that this record has the punch of bands like AMF (A Minor Forest), with an undercurrent similar to Forever Einstein. I find that the music is very well constructed with definate rhythm punches, yet not over barring. This is prog rock; so certain complexities in the song writing should be expected. This (was) a good band! Apparently, they just did this one CD. Great spin!

I WENT TO COLLEGE WITH THESE GUYS IN TENNESSEE. THIS IS THE ONLY REASON I KNOW OF THEM. THE MUSIC GRABS YOUR EMOTIONS AND TAKES THEM FOR A RIDE; SORT OF LIKE A LITTLE RAFT ON A STORMY SEA THAT GROWS CALM FROM TIME TO TIME. THIS ALBUM WILL BECOME A PART OF YOUR PERSONALITY.
