——
“Sometimes excellent discs fall out of the sky unannounced. This is a case in point. I stumbled on it while poking around the dreaded Facebook.

Art Griffin is a Canadian multi-instrumentalist (primarily keyboards and bass with some guitar) who put together this instrumental prog rock project. He brought onboard some of Canada’s top musicians. Anchoring the album is drummer Steve Negus from Saga. He also mixed the album. Electric violinist Victoria Yeh goes head to head with Griffin and guitarist Kelly Kereliuk – they all lay down some serious soloing and the interplay between them is superb. Kereliuk plays with a modern, harder edge that just stops short of metal. The overall vibe of the albums blends prog rock, fusion and OK maybe a little bit of metal in the heavier sections (I’m hearing some Dream Theater elements in spots). Clearly Yes has been a big influence of Art Griffin’s writing and that band’s spectre hangs over the whole project as its all sewn together with a gorgeous Roger Dean cover. One look at this whole package and it just screams PROG! BUY OR DIE!”
