Got this from a friend today on Facebook. Listened to a couple of tracks and immediately went and bought the MP3 album from Amazon.com

They have their album streaming HERE

If you like what you hear, it's available in CD or Digital on Amazon.com

Or get it from my good friend Ken Golden at LaserCD

There's a pretty good write-up there on the LaserCD site. I've found that I generally have about the same taste as he does.

This one is killer. I'm almost all the way through it now and I've got to put it away so I don't over play it.

Listened to the opening track, love the vocals and how well the music blends. Think I'm gonna have to buy this someday.

Elaitch · « **Reply #2 on:** January 26, 2012, 02:11:29 PM »

Listened to the first track and is going through the second one.

Surely interesting... sounds very professional and well put together for a first album. Very promising so far.

You have the generally the same taste as Ken Golden?

Remind me to listen to your recommendations then

Yeah, pretty much any disc that he says he likes on his site, I buy it, and I love them 95% of the time.

Bumping this thread because I cannot stop listening to this CD. In fact, it has a song on it that is the first song to move me to tears in a long time.

It's just a great piece of writing, the whole thing. And the performances are outstanding.

Your recommendation carries a lot of weight for me Barry. I'll keep my eye out for it.

Live stream in the OP if you happen to be in front of a computer for a while and want to check it out.

Key Tracks: The Call, The Apparition, World of Wonders, The Struggle (channeling Savatage here!), Where The Earth and Sky Meet

Yeah, very nice album indeed! I've been listening to it once so far (streamed from some official site) but it definitely is on top of my must-buy-list at the moment.
Plus: As a graphics designer i also state, that i love the cover art! Very cool vibe and apprently well executed! Nice stuff!

Nick · « **Reply #8 on:** February 22, 2012, 09:12:47 AM »

Very much been enjoying this album as well.

Dr. DTVT · « **Reply #9 on:** February 22, 2012, 10:51:25 AM »

I came here to bump this thread and two people already beat me to it. Fantastic album, I keep finding new things to like about it. I've only listened to it 3 times so far, but I think its safe to say this would have easily made my top 5 from last year had I heard it before, probably #3 behind Flaming Row and TDH.

kirksnosehair · « **Reply #10 on:** February 22, 2012, 11:21:45 AM »

I knew some of you would really like this if you gave it a chance. I've been trying really hard to not overplay it.

Dr. DTVT · « **Reply #11 on:** March 08, 2012, 10:05:08 AM »

It's a shame how little attention this thread got.

kirksnosehair · « **Reply #12 on:** March 08, 2012, 11:45:16 AM »

This band and this album deserve a lot of attention. I've been pimping it all over the place.

jingle.boy · « **Reply #13 on:** March 08, 2012, 12:21:21 PM »

On my radar. Saving it for later.

As I posted in another thread, simply having a thread about a band generally does nothing. I only popped in originally because Barry started the thread. If this thread were started by 95% of the people here, I wouldn't have popped in until I heard a song from this on WPAPU. So, I'm equally guilty of this as others. Another part of it is that it seems like a growing population of DTF isn't interested in prog or prog metal.

It seems like the best way to pimp a band around here is through roulettes.

I've noticed that too. The fuck?

DTF posters not into prog or prog metal.

Thanks to JB, I went to progstreaming.com and this album is incredible. I need to buy this.

Nick · « **Reply #17 on:** May 16, 2012, 04:07:47 PM »

I should check this band out...

lonestar · « **Reply #18 on:** May 16, 2012, 04:34:04 PM »

Got this one last week, found them on my own oddly enough. Absolute masterpiece.

Yeah, happened to find this one on my own as well when visiting progstreaming.com recently. Every DT fan here definitely must give it a listen as it's freaking amazing. One of those albums that absolutely floors you instantly and only gets better upon repeated listens. I have a feeling this and the forthcoming album from Headspace will rank very highly on my 2012 top 10 list.

Just curious, was it World of Wonder that moved you, cause that one sucker punched my soul real good.

And one thing I was thinking, if these guys do an opening tour and play this thing in its enterity, I feel woefully sorry for the headlining act.

kirksnosehair · « **Reply #21 on:** May 17, 2012, 11:30:12 AM »

Yeah, Lonestar, that track is beautiful. And that girl's voice is just made of pure awesomesauce.

KevShmev · « **Reply #22 on:** May 17, 2012, 11:33:13 AM »

I checked out The Apparition on youtube (ZOMG, I checked it out for free! Burn me at the stake!!

) earlier today. Not bad. A decade ago, I might have eaten that up with a spoon, but now, not so much. They are obviously a talented band, and from the sound of that one song, they do a good job within that style, but that kind of overly dramatic prog metal just isn't my thing. Oh well, I tried.

She could sing the phone book and I'd be happy.

wolfking · « **Reply #24 on:** May 17, 2012, 04:01:49 PM »

Man, I got this cd about 4 weeks ago but it's still hasn't been unwrapped.

No doubt. She certainly does have a beautiful, soulful voice.

So, yeah... pretty f'n awesome. Doc... you're right, has a lot of the same feel as Elinoire.
