Quite a list for a project that is only two years in the running - As far as I am well informed, this new one ''Paths To A Digital Dawn'' is their second, full length since days of existence.
Let me be clear right away and tell you all that ''Paths To A Digital Dawn'' is an album for fans only - only instrumental compositions on it, every single tone you hear is done by Joseph Kenyon himself. This is a guy with infinitely much competence in the field of musical arrangements. While listening at this release, I was relaxed and could be dragged by a lot of beautiful movements. All the atmospheric moments on this album give you the possibility to sit tight and dream away.
A few quite and slowly, some kind of 'spacy Rock' songs to bring you in a 'dream away' position - some other works brings back the good old days of Rock and Metal with memories of many greats... find out yourself what I mean 'bout that. I'd like to describe this album as: Pink Floyd meets The Gathering meets Joe Satriani / Steve Vai, seasoned with influences from times passed by. To keep the story short and simple, we also can define it all as 'Fusion'.
This is a musical demonstration which lasts something more than one half hour and that's long enough to me. I dig such 'instrumental' albums without a problem - the musical finely sensitivity takes command in a very impressive way and that's okay by me. When it's time to take it easy on my mind for a while... I will grab an album like ''Paths To A Digital Dawn'', afterwards when the batteries are re-loaded again - my re-charged mind and spirit tells me to play some Metal music instead because without my daily 'shots of steel', life is not!
Well done album and I'm glad with the final result. As I told before - for 'instrumental' Rock / Metal fans only. Joseph Kenyon, a name of an artist with a bright looking future who's loaded with good ideas and intentions to create the unexpected.
