There is no question this is progressive rock. The thing is, it’s kind of both modern prog and classic and yet neither at the same time. This is clearly something that’s true to itself first and foremost. Yet there are nods to a lot of other prog music. The flute makes on think “Jethro Tull” and there are times when this music is related to that. Yet there are many other things going on here, too.  Don’t expect extremely complex music with lots of twisting and turning changes. Instead, think of more melodic progressive rock and you’ll be on the right track.

Symphonic elements start this. A guitar solos over the top as the introduction works forward. It works to a mainstream prog jam with a lot of psychedelia in the mix. We’re taken on quite a ride from there as various sections emerge at times. This is a great progressive rock jam with both classic and modern elements to it. Some parts of this make me think of Spock’s Beard meets Pink Floyd. Others are close to Jethro Tull. The extended closing instrumental section includes some particularly noteworthy guitar work.
