notes

Rich in melody, careful in its pacing, Between Sunlight and Shadow glows with musical and lyrical intelligence. John Green on keyboards, Matt Zafiratos on guitar and bass, and Jamie McGregor on drums all sing as well, and their harmonies add further texture to their instrumental prowess and imagination.

The disc's 15 tracks bleed together in a first-person narrative of a late-night drive "deep into the night" -- a metaphor for a journey from confusion and paranoia to "someplace safe." The imagery is so well sustained, and the conclusion so open-ended, that it resonates far better than many concept albums.

Ranging from intimate, acoustic piano and guitar, to slicing electrical storms, the music is haunting. Green's proggy synth work on "Flight" (which has a thrilling, stop-time denouement), the cavernous space opening of "Inferno" (which leads into raging metal riffery worthy of Borknagar), the organically developed themes, and the superb group vocals (check out "In Passing" and "All Comes Down") -- all of it adds up to an impressive piece of work.

    I am very psyched to have found this band. I recently went to a progessive rock festival in Montreal, Canada and a music vendor from Quebec City, Canada recommended this band to me, likening them to old Porcupine Tree. Although I didn't see a lot of similarity there, I think the band is great. I am very happy to have purchased this CD and thier cd entitled Singularity. I plan on buying the 3rd release that they have out as soon as I can afford it. I have been into progressive rock for many years now and find this band to be very talented. It is very refreshing to hear new prog without much of the heavy metal undertones (which I find inflitrating into so much of the progressive rock these days). The music is excellent, but the lyrics (always important to me) are great as well. I would higly recommend this band to any progheads.
