ALBUM REVIEW
New Eden Orchestra is the name of an American five piece that has created a little masterpiece. Progessive rock with nods to Yes, Emerson Lake & Palmer,Genesis, Gentle Giant, Flower Kings, Spock's Beard, Kevin Gilbert, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Kansas, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Glass Hammer, Ayreon, Billy Joel, Rush & UK. The music can be described as modern, progressive, symphonic pomprock with mixes of Kansas, Gentle Giant, Yes and Aviary. Yes, all these bands are correct when describing the music of New Eden Orchestra. The 18 different tracks on the album show a tremendous diversity in musical taste and direction, but the whole piece still holds together as a one composition. We are taken on a fantastic, varied musical journey and there isn't a dull moment on here. I hereby challenge every lover of good melodic progressive/ symphonic music to give this album a listen. Never before has an album felt so fresh and yet classic, well not since the genre began in the late sixties/early seventies anyway. (Just for Kicks)
