First track is an intro, like title itself says, flute and tambourine, quite port-folk. Second track for instance melt an atmosphere of Conlon Nancarrow in slow motion :-D with piano chords reminding canterbury avantprog (Henry Cow)
Third (I and I) is a claustrophobic situation like a cabaret version of Pere Ubu disturbed by the Residents. Quite emotional despite music is glacial. Here again some elements of avantprog (Hatefield & the North), it's my favorite genre so I can do anything but appreciate.
Violat my guantanamor is something starting like a sad minimal Morricone theme, but bass is a tad latin, percussion don't give you a cuban taste, they keep more tribal electronic. So it's always bordering something: between toy and serious music, between drama and an ethnic peaceful melody. I like this ease in mixing different genres, atmospheres and landscapes( I do in my same music the same).
Rz is 27 is a great track, piano is played firmly through an avantgarde contemporary intro, very solemn, but again keyboards and rhythms à la Residents (more melodic) breaks in, first with delicacy, then throwing track in a small ambient, like a canteen, and melody is really beautiful, out of any tone and chord progression boundary.
Estas tanist is a more radical dive into obscuro. It continues to keep on a line but moves between folk and avantprog. I like when people use different volumes in music, like in classical or jazz. It gives more dimensions to the music.
Ben rnasi start as kraut rock, reminds me Can (also in other songs sometimes).
Midtro is a small song to split two parts, then sun cho m'gill point direct on middle east, but it's more like a caricature, and then another rhythm blast to land in a clean sequence, and again blasts rhythm.
Maenuael is peace after the storm, beauty and melancholy. Small tasty track.
Two Wedding in Nailsea is back to avantrock, guitar loops while an industrial drum raise up, martial but not monumental, like a light platoon but all is covered by antimelodies juming up and down tones. It sent me a message of repression.

This is a good work, in my opinion, because You don't perceive a tryout, but a result searched relentlessly and painstakingly for more than 60 minutes. And it a progress respect first record: I heard only first 4 tracks, but this is better in mix and composition.

I found it quite into american jam rock tradition, but without recalling Umphrey MCGee, moe or Phish, like a european way (meaning: more focused and less wankery-driven) to that kind of impro/fusion. Musicians are not robotic like Ron Jarzombek or Suicmez, they instead sound quite hot, but anyway are very tight, I searched for an error or a weak note... but nothing at all during 20 minutes. Many compliments!

Songs flow one after the other with an impressive ease. It's a product lacking any amateurish connotation, all has a warm taste of professionality, but apparently with no effort, like tracks came out on their own from instruments.

Ridiculously awesome record. No song is weak, no boring moments. Genres melting is natural, logical, consequential. Electronic is where electronic is needed. Warm bluesy suspensions are there to echo small jokes in l'Odyssée Amère. Bass is as simple as juicy. A short citation... was it? Landscape has already turned again. There's a Steve Vai-in-Them-or-Us guit solo goin' on. Your ear is slower than Gramond twists. Shame.

This goes on like that ALL THE RECORD. No way out, fantasy from first to last note.

In one word: BRILLIANT. And BRILLIANT.

I don't hear Yes here, nor Jon Anderson except for a couple of Yes common places thrown in, especially in last song. Let's say one minute in the whole EP.

Maybe because I listened a lot to Yes (I'm 44), I know every album note by note and melodies are quite different from the ones by these guys. But I respect people's thinking, and same time I can't lie to avoid somebody get offended (I'm sorry, if it happens).

So If they didn't mention Yes singer in last song I didn't even notice it.

Both music and vocals remind me A LOT moe. and Umphrey's McGee. Lead singer seem Brendan Bayliss of Umphrey's McGee; when they sing in chorus they sound more like the three singers in moe.

My favorite song is Soldier... which remind me Anchor Drops by Umphrey McGee.

But they are not a clone of these band, simply they are not progressive, but a jam band, and very interesting I have to say. Jam bands sound similar as they play at high technical level, and they make arena rock mixed with progressive and fusion. It's a very recognizable formula (like 80s californian hardcore punx, to make an example) so can push all the band in the genre to sound similar (if listened to with distraction).

Here they miss the "great shot", but I'm sure next record they'll find a majestic series of hooks, You can perceive they are on the go, they're looking for THE solution. I think this band got numbers, and they can express a wide range of styles, by now they are in a kind of funnel, so songs sound like a single song splitted by three.
