Kinesis ' Cathedral are no relation to the British metal band of the same name. Cathedral displays a well-crafted, unique, and original sound that should make every American prog fan want to salute. The music has lots of variation and keeps you captivated right to the end of the 65-minutes. In all, another solid album from Cathedral, sure to please fans of their first album, as well as attract new fans. A fine collection of songs which remain varied and beautifully performed.

Plenty of instrumental fireworks in these long tracks, with contrasts in dynamics, tempo, and mood. Behind the brooding lyrics and grand musical developments is always a strong song with memorable melodies. Their sound blends tried and true progressivisms into an accessible format, fronted by lead vocalist Ted Thompson, while still offering plenty of instrumental fire and spirited solos.
