This is progressive rock. It’s not the progressive rock of the 1970s, though. That said, there are sections that are heavily influenced by that sound. This is a very diverse set that still manages to flow and work extremely well. It unusual, but it’s also quite effective. I’d highly recommend it to fans of modern progressive rock.

As this starts it makes me think of Mike Oldfield a bit. As it continues, though I make out Saga, The Buggles and more. I like the melody lines to this a lot and the layers of keyboards are lush and tasty. This is cool stuff. While keyboards dominate the arrangement we do get some cool, almost jazzy guitar soloing later in the piece.

They definitely saved the best for last. This is an extended (more than eight minutes) piece that is closely tied to classic progressive rock. It’s an awesome piece of music that most often makes me think of Yes, but sometimes calls to mind Genesis, too. It’s not completely an instrumental, but large sections are sans vocals and different instruments take the lead at different points. All in all, this is great stuff.
