Blue Kisses and the Greenest Green

Review by Gary Hill

This set is really intriguing. There is a great proggy, art music vibe at play through the whole thing. The first batch of tracks here are remixes. Those are more purely electronic. The last two songs get into more rock based territory. It’s all trippy and very cool. It’s perhaps not a completely tight fit under progressive rock, but I am convinced it belongs there. Please note that the lack of capital letters on the artist name are their choice because that’s how they stylize it.


This review is available in book (paperback and hardcover) form in Music Street Journal: 2026  Volume 1. More information and purchase links can be found at: garyhillauthor.com/Music-Street-Journal-2026.


Track by Track Review
Softly (Megan Carnes Version)

This comes in atmospheric and textural with a lot of keyboards at its core. It works to a dream pop kind of arrangement for the song proper. This is trippy and slow moving. It’s also quite artsy.

Clouds (Megan Carnes Version)

There is almost a frantic energy built into this. The cut is decidedly creative and art rock based. It has a symphonic quality to it.

Red Dogs Run (Megan Carnes Version)

Slower and dreamy, this one also has some definite symphonic vibes at play.

Turned to Gloss (Megan Carnes Version)

This instrumental (with some non-lyrical vocals) piece is energetic and very prog oriented. Mind you, it’s modern keyboard based prog in style. There are hints of new wave music in the mix, too. This is a real highlight of the set.

Breaking Glass (Megan Carnes Version)

Another instrumental track, this thing has a lot of energy and a real new wave electronic groove. The keyboard bass jam is a great touch. It really drives the tune.

Sword in My Belly

This comes in slowly and very understated. Vocals comes over the top in a fairly mellow arrangement. It gets noisier as it continues with an almost shoegaze guitar element. This is trippy, echoey and very much art music. It also gets pretty intense.

On the Inside

Here we get another rocking tune. This has a lot of modern prog power and style. It’s more of a full band arrangement, and it really works well.
