This CD showcases Cranium in it's earlier stages of developing a new vision for metal and instumental music in general. Some of the compositions are built much like jazz tunes, using a head-solos-head format, and emphasizing the individual talents of the three members of the band while still creating a strong, tight, and cohesive group sound. The music also borrows melodically and rhythmically from Middle Eastern and world music. Strongly influenced by artists as wide ranging as King Crimson, Rabih-Abou Khalil, John Zorn, Meshuggah, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Screaming Headless Torsos, Dave Holland Quintet, Ornette Coleman, Krysyztof Penderecki, James Brown, Helmet, Napalm Death, and Weather Report, just to name a few.
The overall musical aim is to allow the disparate musical interests of the individual band members to gel together to create a new kind of music while remaining fiercely uncompromising in it's creation and performance.

great instru-metal
author: stephen
Definitely good progressive instrumental metal. Kinda like breadwinner the burner, but these guys tend to fall into more jazzy-ambientish breakdowns in between, so definitely more dynamics. Fans of keelhaul, breadwinner, loincloth, collapsar, or any odd-timed tech metal should check it.

REALLY GOOD PROGRESSIVE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC
author: Jason Russwurm
This is a really great album. All three of these guys are talented musicians. Fans of Collapsar, Icepick Revival(- the vocals), The Fucking Champs, Don Caballero and maybe even Meshuggah should definitely check this band out. One of the better instrumental albums i've heard in a while. Highly recommended.

AMAZING Album
author: Matt
This CD is definately one of the best CD's I've heard in a while. The musicianship is incredible. The first 4 songs are without a doubt, the best on the CD and a couple of them are so technical that there isn't even one measure of 4/4. The songs are random, but still extremely musical. Do yourself a favor and buy this now. These guys are all amazing musicians and they did an awesome job with this album. 5 STARS!
