That's how 'Jerusalem' affected me, the first cut on this amazing CD. Mark Miller proves to be dizzyingly multi-talented throughout, wearing almost every hat in almost every song: singer/songwriter/lyricist/playing all instruments/weaving it all together. . .his very Soul shines through, spinning a web you unwittingly choose to be entangled in!

His depth of talent is also apparent as you are taken from song to song - each one so different from the rest you'd swear it was a composite of artists, not just Miller. The diversity of technique in stringed instruments alone is awe-inspiring, beginning with the tendrils of sweet notes he evokes in 'Jerusalem,' all the way through a bevy of guitar moods--including a teasing background piece in 'Spectral Yes,' that I kept wanting to yank to the foreground and turn into a screaming lead guitar solo. 

While a couple of the songs may strike the listener as odd at first, by the 2nd or 3rd listen, you'll find yourself spun yet tighter and --moved-- and wanting to know why. . .

There is really no describing this work? Dan Fogelberg meets Yes meets Ravi Shankar? When you think you've heard it all, there's nothing like a nice Bop in the 3rd eye. Amazing this guy isn't signed to a major but such is the state the corporate puke/music machine - Hearing something like this gives me hope and inspiration for the future of music, like hearing the 1st King Crimson album for the first time.
A rollercoaster ride is a great description. Jerusalem is like an eastern fog rolling in with the sitar, tablas and a haunting wood flute, fantastic lyrics throughout ala Peart -the writer is obviously well read in philosophy, religions, cosmology, physics etc. A thinking man's album with great melodies, arrangements & production. Seasons of Ice starts as an epic ELP type synth sprawl resolving into a Beatles acoustic chord fest complete with John & Paul harmonies. 
Mythria is awesome and Kings X ray is an obvious nod to the Texas trio (one of my faves) but with a Dream Theater synth on top!!
I'm turning on my friends and waiting for the next CD.
KEEP IT UP!

WOW if some of these songs don't make you stop and think.  Your writing is mind bending and blowing.  The music just makes you flow even further with the words until you feel encompassed with the CD.  By the middle of the CD you are wondering how the singer knew that was what you were thinking of and then yet at the end you realize that the journey was all his, he just let you on his trip.  Listening to this CD was an experience worth repeating and well worth the money.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!  I especially enjoyed Echoes of Oblivion.  Your vocals are
very strong and the production is masterful.  I would not hesitate to refer
anyone to record at Wheresville Sound!
