Editorial Reviews

This is the deluxe reissue of the now out-of-print debut EP by Beverly, MA instrumental powerhouse "Caspian". Originally released in 2005, the album captures a band with as much energy and urgency as you'd expect to find on a debut release. But it also displays a band that has a confidence and understanding of craftsmanship that defies their young age as a band. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Instrumental rock soundscapes for thought, November 1, 2005

Can a sonic barrage be a good thing? Yes, if the providers are the four guys who comprise Caspian. The mixture of guitars, bass, and drums is, at worst, interesting and intriguing, and at best, almost transcendent. Think of the best soundtrack music you have ever heard - the kind that is best suited to the film in question and of superior quality (and truly original, to boot). You Are the Conductor is like that, except the film is your thought, your drive time, your drifting off to sleep. "Loft" is perhaps the best cut on the disc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly well made music, November 1, 2005

An excellant debue from a band that promises to deliver great songs for a long time. The walls of sound that hit the listener are very powerful and indeed, 'transcendent'. This is especially apparent on teh song "Loft". However, "Loft" would not have the intensity it does without the previous songs "Further Up" and "Further In" getting things moving. I do not think I have heard a better three song combination anywhere. The rest of the tracks are quite good as well, but those three are certainly the highlight.

Fine introductive EP to the movingly competent post-rockers suffers from just enough filler to render this six-shooter just below beautiful.
