From SeanInConcertI am now selecting an album I am quite familiar with but you are now. I was at a show in a venue named JAXX in northern Virginia., probably 1999-2000.. I think it may have been the project CAB, a fusion band with Dennis Chambers, Bunny Brunel, and Tony MacAlpine. In the back of the venue there was a very tall, attractive young lady hanging up a flyer (Im 6'2" so when I say someone is tall... they are at least an inch away from my height!). I went to check it out. It was an upcoming show announcement at Jaxx that said something like "Brave, female-lead prog-rock band". Sounded up my alley... I went up and approached her, introduced myself and told her I was very interested in that show. She gave me an EP they had made and gave me a pass to the show... I actually turned the pass down because I pay for my local bands. On the way home, I popped in the EP and was floored.. it sounded amazing..not too heavy prog, but didnt shy away from it. So after that, and that show, I quickly became their biggest fan. This is their first full-length release, "Searching For The Sun" which is almost a perfect album. I remember seeing a small show they did on an easter sunday.. i was the only one in attendance other than their family members. They played a new song from the album that had not been released yet, "Trapped Inside".. best song ever! I went up and told them that that song was a closer... "dont play that song anywhere else in their set... leave them with something completely memorable", and they did just that... that was the showstopper, and their following grew and grew. I could go on and on...nobody will probably read this LOL! But, this is a great album and I look forward to reviews from you all.
- Adamson's vocal restraint in quieter passages hits differently than a full-throated delivery — does holding back make those moments more or less emotionally powerful for you?No answers yet
- Searching for the Sun leans into atmosphere over technical complexity — does that make it feel more or less like a progressive rock record to you?No answers yet
- The album was largely discovered through the prog underground rather than mainstream channels — how does knowing that shape the way you hear it?No answers yet
- Guitar texture here is more about tone and melody than leads — does Alvarez's restrained approach feel like a strength or a missed opportunity?No answers yet
- The album ends without resolution — does that open ending feel earned, or does it leave you wanting something more?No answers yet
