Post Description
"An Endless Sporadic" is certainly one of the best prog albums of 2009, and in my mind, it is truly a masterpiece. In short, it is a brilliantly written, brilliantly performed mesh of eclectic prog and a little bit of metal.
The composing and arranging quality has greatly improved from that of their mediocre EP of a year ago. Although entirely instrumental, the number of styles and textures include in a span of only 33 minutes is remarkable. Styles range from the distortion guitar-driven sound of progressive metal, to an almost impressionist style solo piano piece and at times the classic prog sound of guitar, synth, and organ.
In 9 relatively short tracks, AN ENDLESS SPORADIC has managed to show us that they are capable of producing some incredible music. Better yet, the youth of their career has made me wonder what even greater works they may come up with in the future.
En een leuk detail:
"In May, An Endless Sporadic was recorded, and mixed in Lund, Sweden in only three weeks, with internationally-renowned progressive rock guitarist, vocalist and producer, Roine Stolt, producing.
Mastering took place at M-Works Mastering Studio in Boston.
Stolt is best known as the founder of The Flower Kings, and lead guitarist and vocalist of the Prog Rock supergroup Transatlantic, featuring Dream Theater drummer, Mike Portnoy.
All nine An Endless Sporadic tracks feature the brilliant bass playing of The Flower Kings' Jonas Reingold."
