Leader Geoffrey Langley is currently the keyboardist for Renaissance, so you know that he can deliver the goods! Although I had not heard of them before, this southern New Jersey band have been in existence for a decade and this is their second album!
“We're treated to some modern progressive rock with intricate arrangements, muscular guitar solos, slick synth lines by way of the crazy talented Geoffrey Langley, and production values that more popular bands would kill for. Meanwhile, we've got some retro prog influences thrown in, throwback sounds to Yes and Mahavishnu Orchestra peppering these songs.
The Cycle Undone runs the gamut of what prog fans want from the genre. The album opens with the electric epic of "Recodified" with the title track later coming in as another long rocker. "Sparks in the Mind," gives us a hint of the melodic pop that The Twenty Committee can do so well in combination with their talent. "Embers," a beautiful track, leans into the mournful and melancholy.
If this is the kind of quality that we'll consistently receive from The Twenty Committee, I don't mind waiting another decade. This is prog rock at it's finest.”-rym
