It should be noted that I previously reviewed music from this artist that was released under the name "Michael Cullen." Since that name is set into our database, this review is filed under it to avoid confusion, but Cullen is now going as "Michael P. Cullen."

This new single is quite tough to classify. I've landed it under progressive rock because the dreamy, trippy, dense sonic structure isn't far removed from either acts like Porcupine Tree or the shoegaze genre. When I reviewed his previous work, it had some proggy tendencies, but I ultimately landed it under the "non prog" heading. That's irrelevant, though, because I'm just reviewing this piece. It's quite a moody, yet oddly uplifting number. It's hard to even pin it down to an era as it would feel just as comfortable in an 80s environment as it does today. The take-away is, don't try to hard to classify this. Just enjoy it.
