Signing Einstein represents an American view of the newly
revised progressive / art rock form, first established by bands like Renaissance
and Yes in the late sixties and early seventies.
Layered instrumentation, compelling lyrics, and finely detailed production
give songs like Edward Teach a modern flavor that stands up well to
other contemporary indie prog / art rock bands like the Illusion and eN.
The Prey of Nantahala Lake at over 10 megs comes in at an amazing 4:29
on the mp3 player. How is that possible, I wonder. Lifted by the gifted
vocals of Gina Gonzalez, this song is the most reminiscent of later day
Renaissance, only with much fuller and emotionally poignant vocal work.
This is highly classy music and a worthy addition to the Pro Critic Set List.
