Checked it out to see why you scored it so high. Nice stuff but I wouldn't have given it a high score like that maybe high 80's low 90's.

I like the debut a lot, but haven't been able to find this. Does anyone know where I can purchase the CD for a reasonable price?

I know you can get an mp3 copy at cdbaby.com, I haven't found a place that has a physical CD.

EDIT: Brilliant stuff, the orchestral/symphonic sound is used so well here, for a self-released album it's simply amazing.

Keep in mind that this is self-released. It's mind-blowing.
Also, you'll enjoy this, a bonus track from their debut:

@Clint, unfortunately I can't find a physical copy of this anywhere either. :sad:

Thinking about e-mailing the band and asking if physical copies exist, or ever will exist.

Amazon.ca has a copy of their "Towards Eternity" album.

this isn't bad stuff by any means.

but to me it sounds like if you what bands like Scar Symmetry, Adagio, or Into Eternity are doing and just increase the Dream Theater worship by about a hundred times.

That being said, I am impressed by it. But now I have to see if I am impressed because its flashy or because it is actually memorable. Right now its a little too pro toolsy for me. Bands like Ansur or Transatlantic to me are really taking what works with 70's prog and making it new. This band doesn't seem to be trying to advance any ideas or truly make progressive music. It seems like a lot of cool shit thrown in a blender.

I hope I'm wrong though, because if this is really worth a 95 then I hope you're right. I'd rather love something than not.
