Morse, Neal Momentum

2012, MOMENTUM features five exceptional stand alone songs and one longer conceptual piece. In addition to the accessible title track, there's the quirkily clever, Gentle Giant-inspired ,,Thoughts Part 5", which follows in the footsteps of the previous ,,Thoughts" tracks penned by Morse with Spocks Beard. ,,Smoke and Mirrors" trods an introspective, acoustic path, while ,,Weathering Sky" offers a raucous cry for deliverance and renewal from a searching soul. Rounding out the shorter tracks is ,,Freak", an upbeat, strings-charged song unlike anything Neal has recorded to date. Last comes ,,World Without End", a near 34-minute, six-part epic that contains everything that defines Morse as a master of the genre. While MOMENTUM propels Morse forward and further cements his standing as a prolific progressive rock icon, it steers clear of the potential ´more of the same` trap, and features fresh musical angles and some of the finest performances to date by the Morse, Portnoy, George team.
