This is clearly a British melodic rock CD - the sound is just so right. It has the lot: chantalongable choruses, long arrangements, powerchords, guitar riffs, odd snatches of conversation, catchy synth figures, feedback fade-outs. It has shades of Magnum, Pink Floyd (especially some of the vocals), Mostly Autumn, BJH, Peter Gabriel, Big Country (you know the list and I'm sure you can add to it). The pace is mostly mid-tempo, where that means "power" rather than "laid back", and occasionally it's a bit prog. I loved it. This is the kind of band I get drawn to at festivals and it was so good to connect with the lyrics as well as the music, with "Hallelujah" being a shout of praise. Best riff: the close to "One Moment". Best track: "A Place Called Eden".
