It’s a foregone conclusion that many will think I’m nuts for putting this in the progressive rock category. I do it more for the experimental nature of this music – and isn’t that really one of the first definitions of prog rock? That’s not to say that there aren’t any traditional progressive rock elements here. There certainly are. It’s just to say that the music here is probably more akin to techno and dance music, but there’s a lot more going on here, too. I like this one a lot. It’s quirky as hell, but also very cool. It’s a double disc set, but really you get the same CD twice – once in a standard enhanced format and again in a 5.1 digital surround format. I don’t have anything to properly play the DTS format, so I’m just reviewing the standard one. Of course, since the tracks are essentially the same there would be only one track by track review anyway.
