Listen to the story. I have a feeling you already know it.
Our character, the dormouse, is in a rut.
In fact, he’s caught in a cult; maybe not the same cult as you or I
But we all know cults — “when you’re a Jet...”
And our character is a Jet all the way.
He eats, breathes and dreams “The Great Purpose™”.
The quest is the quest. All are of one mind in the hive.
Except, his one best friend is not so sure.
He suspects stagecraft behind the wizard curtain and thinks it’s time to leave:
“Let us go together!”
But Mouse recoils! Abandon the comfort of doctrine and the pleasure of propaganda? “Everything is so straightforward and easy in my routine!
Outside is only fear. And the unknown...”
The Shrew, the Crayfish?
Locked in eternal battle, the contest between Earth and Sea
(there is, in fact, more of which?)
From a primordial soup we pulled ourselves up onto the shore.
Millennia spent perfecting and evolving have led us to what?
Our sleeping slave is left to his loneliness and “Great Purpose™”.
His cage is small and he has given up much to serve and preserve the illusion.
Unbind your mind there is no time!

How to improve the perfection...
author: Shined
Is it possible to improve a perfect album like Doomsday Afternoon? Oh yes!
Each sound in its place, very instrumental, dreamy music. You must have it!

Even better than Doomsday, I think...
author: Rob Martino
There's no orchestra this time but perhaps even more sonic color and an extra sense of urgency in the performances. While not intended to be the third part of the Great Leap/Doomsday trilogy, it's got a similar unfolding, epic scale.
Those trademark Phideaux elements are there - the subtle craftsmanship that grows on you with repeat listens, the memorable melodies, the folky/psychedelic/gothic/symphonic musical flavors, the strong emotional elements, and to my ears an even greater tightness and intensity this time around.
The complexity in this music isn't the kind that beats you over the head-- no fast metal riffs or pyrotechnic instrumental displays (which often wear thin when the novelty wears off)-- just deep, stunningly crafted art rock that will reward the listener for years to come.
Still my favorite musical artist of the decade!

In the two years we have been waiting since "Doomsday Afternoon" Xavier Phideaux has cooked up a new long conceptual piece of music called "Number 7". It's a slightly surreal humourous piece of music, featuring jazzy instrumental interplay and detailed arrangements. This luch production combines the chamber fusion of Zappa, the baroque sensibility of Jethro Tull and the ear candy of Pink Floyd. A splendid time is guaranteed for all! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
