The Anglo-American music press has
been praising Pure Reason Revolution with sentences like: "The
missing link between Pink Floyd and the 21st century", "They master
the contrast between inner space-odyssey and rock exuberance" and
"They play like space freaks in a prog summer camp". 'The Dark
Third' is their highly acclaimed debut album - a very sophisticated
piece of music.
Their name is inspired by Kant's "Kritik
der reinen Vernunft" (Critique of the Pure Reason) with the addition
of the word Revolution, because they think of their music as being
radical and revolutionary.
We spend one third of our lives
sleeping and about 6 years of that is dreaming. Inspired by the
fascination for and the origin of dreams Pure Reason Revolution
takes us on a journey with no limitations. Just like dreams, the
music has no limits, no rules - the songs can have any running time
and orchestration.
Musically we are in the outskirts
of progressive rock often crossing the borders into art rock and
psychedelic rock. Each song is an intense, vivid and lucid dream,
keeping the listener at suspense before bubbling over with rich
harmonies and melodies. This is a journey inwards, into new
dimensions...
This Liverpool based outfit has
created quite an unique collection of big soundscapes, which should
be of interest to fans of Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree, Muse,
The Mars Volta and even old 'Wildhoney'-era Tiamat. So try it out, sit down, close your eyes and let the
music take you on a joy ride into the land of dreams...
