CD Reviews

Very Refreshing!!

Johan Svahnstrom | Clearwater, FL USA | 10/27/2006

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I have heard all over the place that this band would sound very much like Kansas. To me they sound more like the Swedish prog bands Cross and Spektrum, and maybe a little bit like late eighties Hawkwind (which I love). Their music also reminds me of late seventies Illinois band Star Castle. If you like this kind of stuff Cryptic Vision will not dissapoint you.

This is definately quality music with extremely tight keyboards, beautiful vocals and strong guitar work.

Highly recommended for all fans of the genre."

Surprisingly Good

"I purchased this CD before ROSFest and have truly enjoyed it. Great melodies with super harmonies. The vocals seem to shift between Yes and Chris Squire solo vocals, layered over a more driving melody than Yes would produce. I enjoyed the CD before seeing them and now look forward to their two new releases."
