Mark’s Quick Review: The Cyberiam’s – Self Titled Album0 (0)
If you have never read the key for my ratings below please do so one time. I feel my ratings are tougher than my peers. Also Check my last.fm link to see how compatible our music tasts are. Local Band (Chicago) Cyberiam makes good with their debut album. The two people I knew who knew this band are big Steven Wilson fans. One being in a PTree tribute band called Cloud Zero and the other has seen Steven Wilson perform in about a dozen states and multiple countries. So it makes sense that this band has a porcupine tree fans in it. Tool, Dream...

So typically I would be happy with an album of this quality. But for me this is following in footsteps of Mars Hollow. Friend and keyboard player Steve Mauk is behind this band. He and John Baker combined for on of the best writing duos I have ever heard. Thanks in part to Kerry pushing them to alter some less proggy parts of songs and Jerry subtly...

If you have never read the key for my ratings below please do so one time. I feel my ratings are tougher than my peers. Also Check my last.fm link to see how compatible our music tasts are. I have had the fortune to see this band live probably one of a few American's to see them play live. Neil Mackie's voice and guitar playing were wonderful and it shows on the album. Gordon Mackie on bass was equally as important and energetic. Mike Baxter's roll in giving this album its melodic ambiance cannot be over estimated. Ken...
Mark’s Quick Review: Xanima’s – Planet Hope0 (0)
If you have never read the key for my ratings below please do so one time. I feel my ratings are tougher than my peers. Also Check my last.fm link to see how compatible our music tasts are. This Swedish female fronted band takes some its influences from modern pop music but still has its roots in progressive rock. I think many fans of progressive rock would think that this is not progressive enough for them. I think I too might biased by the use of pop sounds and mixing to really like this album enough to recommend it. I would prefer to spin...
Mark’s Quick Reviews: Gerald Peter’s Project – Incremental Changes, Pt. 10 (0)
If you have never read the key for my ratings below please do so one time. I feel my ratings are tougher than my peers. Also Check my last.fm link to see how compatible our music tasts are. Vienna, Austria-based keyboardist, composer, producer, and technology tinkerer, Gerald Peter, has put out an instrumental piano led EP that is really quite nice. This 21 minute release is just the right length. I am a sucker for some classical piano and this fits the bill quite nicely. The 1st movement of the six was so good I decided to start off our...

If you have never read the key for my ratings below please do so one time. I feel my ratings are tougher than my peers. Also Check my last.fm link to see how compatible our music tasts are. So this is definitely not an album for me, as its too jazzy for me. I can't tell if the sax is too high in the mix or I just don't have an ear for this type of album. Music like this seems to only go down well with other musicians but not so much with "norms". This review reflex who I am and possibly not the quality of the music. We...
