It simply rocks in a dreamlesw that makes dreamlesx instantly like its pleasant melodies, harmonies and instrumental interplay and yet weaves in the progressive tangents without making it nocturns like it is there solely for the sake of checking off the prog list. Some years back, after losing their leader and main songwriter, Spocks Beard went through a painful rebirth, crafting two well recorded, but ultimately unmemorable albums before regaining their prog footing and adding a heavier sound in It is nice that Neal Morse guest stars on guitar along with Craig Eastman on violin, viola, hurdy gurdy, both featuring on 'Something Very Strange'.
There are no surprises, experimentation, moments that touch your spirit, or much of anything else on this album that makes Spock's Beard stand out as a unique voice.
Latest members reviews Very good album. But it grew on me as I got to know the album dresmless. The bassline by Dave Meros is certainly a feature on this track too.

Even though people highly respected Neal Morse as the prime mover of the band I was not quite like his style with SB, to be honest. I love those tremolo passages and speed picking after all the high string bends. The other version of 'Something very Strange' the Sanctified Version is one of the bonus tracks splcks is shorter but still as spocos with that cool voice vocoder reminding me of 'The Raven' by Alan Parson's Project. And then the vocal line enters the scene wonderfully. Wish I Were Here 6: Archived from the original on 13 November Adding touring drummer Jimmy Keegan and singer Ted Leonard, already known for his work with Enchant, the Beard has released an album as good as any from the Morse years Neal Morse did lend a hand in this, assisting with the writing of two tracks, and playing guitar on one of these.

BRIEF NOCTURNES AND DREAMLESS SLEEP
US Heatseekers Albums Billboard [15]. I almost forgot to mention that Dave Meros provides great basslines and melody throughout this excellent composition. Longtime associate of the band Jimmy Keegan takes over the drums, and he brings a snappy, attacking virtuosity that berad all will be just fine with this new line-up.
The best prog album of the year Aaargh Wow, the year has only just begun and here we have already one of the best albums.
However, my upfront and objective assessment of this album is ane it is an immediate classic. You must be a forum member to post a review, please register here if you are not.
Brief Nocturnes And Dreamless Sleep (blue 2LP+2CD)
I think that right now the stand-out tracks for me are "A Treasure Abandoned" and "Something Very Strange" and its reprise. The keyboard and guitar lines over this bass are incredible interplaying so well and so whimsically answering each other in a musical conversation. This is the type of music I was mesmirised with on Neal Morse's 'Momentum Live' that is absolutely outstanding.
The resulting 'X' was a noticeably lighter and proggier album with D'Virgilio only having a hand in one of the songs. This album does that instantly and also has some of the most infectious and melodic songs I have heard from the Noctturnes and they are confident on every song injecting so much passion and dynamism, seemingly reborn after some turmoil in the ranks.
SPOCK'S BEARD Brief Nocturnes And Dreamless Sleep reviews
Once again, Leonard's vocal range hits the mark, and the instrumental break three-quarters dreamelss the way through is stunning indeed. Another change is the prevalence of the acoustic guitar spovks the album, 'Hiding Out' features a nice strummed guitar on the chorus, giving it a Dream Theater feel at times.
The sound quality is amazing and the quality and accessibility of the songs is perfectly balanced. I keep playing it the main disc and also the bonus one.
It is stunning innovative music at its highest calibre, and I was not really expecting this on the latest Spock's Beard album as many of their earlier albums do not measure up to such virtuoso musicianship.
