Yet another instrumental submission to your’s truly. This is a bit of a different situation for me. I actually know them pretty well. I first met their keyboard player when she was part of Grand Parade, a Genesis Cover band. She was the first person I ever saw play Firth of Fifth.
Their first album I saw performed live at a studio on the south side of Chicago. The set was great and their first album is wonderful, but the band took a back seat to life and the lineup changed and then 10 years later I get an email from one of their members about this new album.
So, after giving it a listen I don’t think this album is quite up to par with their first release. I think there are some good moments on this album especially on the back 1/2 of the album.
