(Progressive Rock) In Progress (With:Mark Zonder - Fates Warning,Kevin Moore - OSI) - Дискография 2010-2014 (3 альбома), MP3, 320 kbps

Well, there's certainly plenty of drama here. Suspense too. And more than a little pathos. It's cinematic all right; this is involving and expansive music that really draws you in. With Kevin Moore adding additional keys and vocals on a few tracks, you probably won't be surprised to hear hints of OSI or Chromakey here and there. But, on the whole, I think we're in darker territory. I'm reminded more of Agalloch and Ulver. Just so we're clear, we're talking ethos, vibes and moods, not sound-alikes. Because In Progress have a wonderful, well-crafted sound that's all their own. Give it time – we could well be crediting them with a new sub-genre – a new wave of cinematic prog.
This isn't heavy in the traditional sense, but it's emotionally heavy music. Tones from a Twisting Verse sets the mood with elegiac synth strings, piano and voice, before a tastefully executed guitar part picks out an affecting melody.
Dillon and Rosenberg are obviously masters of their craft. Songs are built upon layers and layers of rich sound, but never seem bloated. Track 5, North Atlantic, is the album's centrepiece, and it's a perfect example. A melancholy synth line evokes the mood, before piano and a skittering rhythm takes us back out to sea. The song builds, the momentum grows... and then stops. We're left with the sound of the rain and the piano playing out a sad refrain. But that's not the end of the track. It's all building to one of the highlights of the album. Rosenberg changes mood and tempo, the synth bubbles away underneath, and an emotive guitar joins in - this is beautifully melodic music. Cinematic in fact.
