 The Reasoning
 Awakening
 Review by Gary Hill
This band was formed by Matthew Cohen when he left Magenta. I can’t attest to what Magenta sounded like when Cohen was in the band (the first album of theirs I heard was their new masterpiece) but I can tell you that this CD is more straightforward than that album by his former band. The songs here are all reasonably short and there is a definite crunch to a lot of this. This is a very good disc that should please fans of neo-prog quite a bit. I wouldn’t call it “a masterpiece” by any means, but it’s definitely worth picking up.
