This is an American band with a lot of traditional influences, mainly the old (seventies) Yes and Genesis. But they have been able to make an album (their second) that sounds very modern too. It's like coming home in a new house, refreshing but still cosy and warm (load of crap in words, I know, but the feeling is like that, believe me). The album is appr. 65 minutes long, but there are only six tracks on it. One is a short one (less than three minutes), so you can imagine the other five. These are long epic songs, full of instrumental intermezzo's and with a lot of atmosphere. The instruments are very traditional too, the guitars, bass, drums and vocals are accompanied by synths, hammond organs and a grand piano. The lyrics are very poetic, with a lot of "difficult" words (no airplay on nitwit radio, I garantee!) and are about feelings, emotions and filosophy. This is a band that definitely needs checking out when you like the more traditional sounds of the golden age of prog, the seventies...
