**** Impressive debut album from this new prog band featuring Australian multi-instrumentalist Ben Craven, along with Tim Bennets and Dean Povey. Although they go for some crossover appeal in the more poppy vocal tracks, the highlights of the album are the soaring symphonic prog instrumental excursions, with the 16-min epic instrumental Terraforming the absolute best, an adventurous, mesmerizing track showing the best of modern prog, and one of the best prog tracks of the year. Building from a quietly beautiful opening to grand themes and dynamic instrumental passages, a truly brilliant musical excursion. Less successful are some of the vocal tracks and sections, such as the drawn-out single For All Mankind which goes on a bit too long and has a somewhat annoying and too- often repeated chorus. The album closes with a curious jazz-funk version of the opening Future History theme. Some funky fun, but doesn’t fit with rest of album and seems out of place here. If the whole album was as good as Terraforming, it would be among the very best of the year, but even with the lesser tracks, it is still very good overall. Best Tracks: Terraforming, Provenance, Earthrise. Rating 3.5 stars
