Sunshine Superman Sunshine Superman Review by Gary Hill Combining progressive rock with psychedelic and jazz, this is a cool set. It’s just a short EP (only four tracks). I’d love to hear more from this outfit because they are quite cool.

Track by Track Review
Paranoia
There’s a bit of a piano and voice introduction to this. Then it turns to jazz meets progressive rock. This is a little odd, but also very cool. There’s some great instrumental work built in here and there and sometimes it reminds me a little of “Godspell.” There is a great instrumental movement that has a lot of classic prog in it later.
March Along This is more psychedelic early. It works out to a rather symphonic arrangement that has a lot more mainstream progressive rock built into it.
Easy In My Skin Coming in like something from a jazz trio, this is a tasty number and the vocals are nicely bluesy.
Out of Your Sky Here’s a cut that’s the most mainstream of the bunch. It feels like pretty standard prog rock with a definite pop music link. It’s a good tune and a satisfying way to end the set.
