WOW! This is something to write home about!

They reminds me of Ozric Tentacles and Quantum Fantay, yet it is different. These people do everything correctly IMHO. There are also elements of Pink Floyd, Riverside and Porcupine Tree here, but what does it matter? This is fresh and innovative. A CD that all lovers of Space / prog rock should have in their collection. The album is insanely good!
While we're at it, do not forget the albums "Second Sighting" and "Tri-angle Waves" These are equally good. CDs can be purchased or downloaded here at CDBaby, so what are you waiting for? :)

Great Disc
author: Joe Cegelka
I first heard this disc played on DeliciousAgony.com. I was blown away on how great it sounded. I ran home that day and ordered the disc and it hasn't left my CD player as of yet. One can certainly hear the influences of Pink Floyd and Porcupine Tree in the music. Highly recommend this band to anyone interested in prog rock. Can't wait for more to be released.

Suprisingly good, wanting more.

A friend recommended this CD to me, knowing how much I like Porcupine Tree. I was not expecting much after reading the music came about from a capricious-sounding jam session between "like-minded musicians". I thought I'd hear a disjointed exploration of annoying sounds. What a nice surprise. This CD is tight. The musicianship is top-notch, the songs are hauntingly evocative and, despite the musicians themselves characterizing the process as a jam session - seem "felt". The only thing I could say against the disc is I wish I knew who was playing what, when. There's a lot of clever playing on this album and I'd love to have liner notes. Definitely not a deal killer, though. I''d recommend this CD to anyone who likes thoughtful progressive rock or to anyone tired of the simple-minded schlock that fills the airwaves these days. I'm definitely looking for more Secret Saucer to add to my collection.
