Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The new album from progressive rock posse, Phideaux, finds a harder sound and songs dealing with life in an increasingly totalitarian world. Beware the toll of the bell, for soon it may toll for you. This is part one of a trilogy of albums dealing with our current paranoic world, where governments can stifle free speech in the name of "safety" and people are willing to give up their rights in order to be "protected" by Big Mother! As for the music, it is conceptual rock music, with lots of melody, somewhere between Bowie, Van der graaf Generator, Roxy Music and Jethro Tull. A classic for future generations, take a listen on our myspace. From the first terrible rock blast "Wake Up" to the tender and melancholy "Last", this album takes you on a journey you will want to revisit again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure magic, November 28, 2006

By	R. Martino - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is wonderful wonderful music, well crafted songwriting with various progressive/psychadelic/classic rock influences (you'll hear things like Tull, Bowie, Pink Floyd, Van Der Graff Generator), which is truly original and refreshing rather than a rehash of the cliches common in the modern prog genre. All of Phideaux's CDs are essential listening, they grab you at first with catchy melodies but also continue to grow on you because of the attention to subtle detail. The Great Leap is the first of a three part "concept" triology, my favorite of his current discography because of it's raw intensity and emotion.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and Eclectic, December 17, 2008

By	abcde (ny) - See all my reviews

"The Great Leap" surely defies simple description. The CD consists of heavily composed, hook-laden songs that, while lyrically themed, represent diverse ilks. One song sounds as if it could be from an REM CD; another is redolent of Billy Idol's musical style. The vocals are rough-edged and often compelling; the excellent and varied drumming shows a strong 80s influence. It's worth noting that the successor CD by Phideaux, the spectacular "Doomsday Afternoon," is a progressive suite that, although part two of what Phideaux has labeled a CD trilogy, bears only a passing resemblance to the far more traditional-rock music that comprises "The Great Leap."

4.0 out of 5 stars Behind closer and vision, August 5, 2008

By	Golovanov Alexey (Limassol, Cyprus) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought it because I missed Joy Division ("Closer") and Sisters of Mercy. I would say that "Phideaux" is a rather unexpected but pleasant mixture of progressive rock with vocal harmonies of early psychodelia. The vocal - to my most humble opinion - is not always convincing. However, we should add a sticker: "Suitable and recommended for ol' farts of 50 and above. Vintage music"
