The introduction on this is so powerful. It starts with an electronic vibe that feels like Synergy or similar acts. It features some hard rocking guitar, but also plenty of progressive rock melody. The track works out to a more stripped back AOR prog arrangement for the vocals, and the number continues to evolve organically. The instrumental section later in the track is so powerful and features some amazing keyboard soloing. The electronic thing that started it returns to end the song.

A killer guitar led jam opens this with an almost Rush-like vibe. After that works through, this turns funky and more King’s X like. This is a smoking hot tune that has great hooks and a lot of intriguing twists and turns. It’s unusual, compelling and satisfying.

A piano and vocal arrangement at the start, some other keyboards provide some augmentation after a time. It’s quite a while before the song powers up, at first, with a melodic intensification of the main themes. Then a driving Rushish arrangement takes over. That gets almost more Dream Theater like as it continues. There are some keyboards over the top that lend a 1950s sci-fi movie vibe. There is an off-kilter, almost metal jam that emerges later. Those sci-fi keyboards are laced over the top of that. The track just keeps evolving and working through different movements.

Trippy keys get things underway here. Spoken vocals come over the top in a rather supernatural way. The tune shifts after this dramatic introduction to a rather rubbery vibe that combines hard rock and prog in an understated groove. It drops way down to just keyboards for the entrance of the first sung vocals. That rocking section returns after a time, and the song keeps growing and getting reinvented. This is another potent modern prog tune.

More classy modern progressive rock is on the menu here. Working through a number of different movements, this eventually drops way down to a mellow groove and a spoken vocal comes over the top. That part reaches an apex to end the song.

The organic, folk prog type arrangement that opens this feels a bit like Jethro Tull. The track evolves from there, and an acoustic guitar driven arrangement serves as the backdrop for the first vocals. This track gradually builds outward from there. This is melodic prog with hints of classical music and a lot of folk in the mix. While that holds much of the track, there are more powered up sections. There is also a killer, soaring guitar led jam further down the road.

There is a very mellow atmospheric thing that includes what sounds like nature in the beginning. Textural music rises up very slowly from there. Drums eventually come across the arrangement. Then the bass starts jamming. The guitar starts painting melodies, and the vocals eventually join. Around the halfway mark, this gets into harder rocking electric guitar led zones, but it’s still very prog oriented. The number continues forward with a return to the mellower before the rocking groove really takes command. After the halfway mark it seems to end. Then keyboards are heard before guitar explodes out. Then the whole band joins and we’re taken into something that has some fusion vibes, but also plenty of Rush in the mix. The track continues to evolve before finally ending.

Coming in slower and mellower, this has a real prog ballad vibe as the vocals join. It grows organically from there. As this powers up it feels a bit like proggy metal at times, but it also continues to change. The contrast between mellower modes and more rocking ones is great. There is a killer, somewhat understated melodic guitar solo later that brings hints of blues rock to the piece.
