This is a promo-CD containing demos and live tracks. Under The Suns music is somewhere between rock and progressive rock. Influences can be heard from Kansas, Rush, Yes, Pink Floyd, Allman Bros., King Crimson, Frank Zappa, Dream Theater, Zebra, Genesis, Gentle Giant, Van der Graaf Generator, Saga, Steely Dan, U2, Marillion, Uriah Heep and Black Sabbath. I don't want to state that Under the Sun is sounding like one of those groups; they're nothing else than just a mix between them all. Therefore, if you like one of these groups doesn't mean that you also like Under the Sun too. If you think so you might be disappointed.

The guitarist is a very skilled rock guitarist and he is the best of the musicians, even though all members are really good. The singer is a mix between Ozzy Osbourne (Black Sabbath) and Steve Walsh (Kansas).

"Gardens of autumn" are the most commercial track, while "This Golden Voyage" is the album's most progressive track. "From Henceforth Now and forever (Ps. 124)" contains sampled Mellotron which makes this track even better. "Breakwater" is a long track with many tempo changes. The live tracks contain many long instrumental sections.

Unfortunately the sound quality is very rough on this promotion CD. If the sound had been better I think that this CD could have had a 4 star rating instead of 3. If these boys got a record deal and a good producer I think they could make a very good official debut CD. It can be very interesting to hear more from Under the Sun in the future.

Under The Sun is nowadays recording a new full length CD, for a planned release in January 1999.
