Reviews

Most songs offer complex rhythmical structure like few.The songs themselves flow in an impressive way, and what is even better, with no exception, the songs are energetically and masterfully performed.

The lack of vocals does not in any way detract from the overall experience, resulting in an album that every lover of progressive rock and metal will enjoy to its fullest.

Best songs: Drempt; Existential Delirium; Viridian.

Very good music between Dream Thetaer and Psychtic Waltz!

This is a great album, there is little more to say. JT Bruce is very skilled instrumentally, and even more, writes excellent music. While this album is all coherent, the songs are not so similar that the album becomes boring by the end. Great job! Keep up the good work!

I found this guy on Last.fm as I was flailing around on the Last.fm radio. I wasn't expecting much, to be honest, but I was basically floored. After I learned you could download his albums for free, I took to the gracious internet and viciously desecrated Jamendo's bandwidth (at which point I noticed it was BitTorrent, so was merely desecrating other user's bandwidth). My favorite track has to be Existential Delirium sheerly because of the wonderful beginning.

Alright, I lied. The entire song is awesome. As with all of his songs, it's filled with complex rhythms and memorable melodies you rarely hear the likes of these days. JT Bruce definitely has a mind for music (and even film, if you've seen his strange yet captivating pointless viral video attempt "Umlaut Ampersand".

Yeah, yeah, it sounds like I'm a JT Bruce fanboy here. I'm sorry, but I'm just quite impressed with how he not only has great musical ideas, but he executes them flawlessly.

Overall this is quite a nice piece of work. Its style reminds me a lot of The Franklin-Neumann Project.
For the main part I think it could have done with more in the way of keyboards, although it picks up in that regard in the second half. Either way, that's more a matter of taste than an actual criticism.

Looking at it critically, I see two flaws: In terms of melody nothing has really leapt out and grabbed me immediately. Also, I'm not convinced about the endings of all the songs... some of them just seem to stop.

In short, I found it pleasant to listen to although not earth-shattering. This was written during my third listen, so it may yet grow on me. I'll most certainly check out the other album.
