Victory Parade
Coming in tentatively and melodically, this works out after the introduction to a more energized, rocking motif. This is classy stuff and a great way to start the set in style. |
|
Date Nut Porridge
There is a definite blues rocking groove to this tune. It's a lot fun. It's a nice change from the opener. |
|
Tale Of The Vibe Rider
Now, this has more of a melodic AOR prog element to it. Mind you, it's of the modern variety, but it's there. That said, there are definite folk rock things going on here, too. |
|
Timeless
I dig the almost fusion vibe of this cut. There is a nice balance between more rocking and mellower sections. This has plenty of prog built into it. It love the killer guitar solo, too. |
|
I Am
I love the almost dreamy proggy charm of this piece. It's a slower, melodic number. It's also a highlight of the disc. |
|
Get Me To The Station
There is a real jazzy groove to this thing. It has a bit of a Steely Dan vibe. It's also quite fusion-like and proggy. It's classy stuff and a highlight of the disc. I can make out hints of early Santana on this tune. |
|
Dark Roads
I love this tune. In fact, it might be my favorite here. There is a dark, mysterious element to it. It is hard rocking and so classy. It still has plenty of proggy aspects. |
|
Hero
With some solid hooks, this is more of a mainstream alternative rocker. It still has some proggy elements, though. |
|
Trash Talkin'
I'm absolutely enamored with the fast paced riff driving this piece. It's one part rubbery bluesy rock and one part prog. There is a bit of shouted kind of processed vocal presence here from time to time (just the title), but overall this is really an instrumental. |
|
Taking It West
A bit more along the lines of alternative rocker, there are some hints of country music in some of the guitar bits that come over the top. This is a classy cut, but not the proggiest thing here. |
