This is an absolute Modern day MASTERPIECE! If this was written in the good old 70's hey day they would be talking about this song some forty years on, it really is that good. It has a seventies vibe to it albiet with a modern twist. Nineteen minutes of HEAVEN!
Yes, this would have probably achieved some success in the mid-seventies bu tit's still got a contemporary edge, as Phideaux is inspired by so many artists and has his own style, he's got such a large musical culture, it's amazing. . I tend to prefer Doomsday Afternoon and Number 7 to Snowtorch but this track and the whole album are brilliant indeed. Phideaux has only released very good albums, and some excellent ones. Such a pity he and his band didn't become a bit more famous, even in the prog rock microcosm...
A total modern musical genius, like Susumu Hirasawa, Arjen Lucassen, Steven Wilson, Tomas Bodin, etc. There is always a dark yet beautiful atmosphera created by Xavier and the others artist. Truly amazing music.
Rob Hare Can add elements of Jethro Tull, Mike Oldfield and Pink Floyd to that. Phideaux is to prog rock what ABBA was to pop: able to seamlessly incorporate all the best elements of his genre into his songs so they fit perfectly!
Everybody says when they think of Phideaux: Doomsday Afternoon and Infernal, and while all albums all good, to me, personally, Fiendish, Number Seven, Snowtorch and Chupacabras are the best ones.
69stepe Oh for sure, same here! I'm planning to get my hands on a CD soon. I love the epic violin solo near the end of part 1, and Helix, placed in the middle of the song. Beatiful vocals and so much energy. I just wanted to draw attention to 11:15 because of the amazing vocal range Xavier shows, and the way he uses assonance to drive the lyrics... simply amazing.
Sir Bomb I saw him live with his full band in Québec City last year, i consider myself very lucky... If you search on my channel you'll find a video i filmed. ;)

There's nothing to say about Xavier.... just listening and enjoying this rare Genious.... can't wait for a new Album
One of the best progressive thing in the 21th century.
Ivanyi Attila absolutely
Musical perfection!
I like everything I hear by Phideaux.
So do I - almost ! Discovering him thanks to his contributions on the Ayreon forum 17 years ago was a revelation
7:19 gives me chills every time
Mr. Phideaux is a brilliant artist.
A total modern musical genius, like Susumu Hirasawa, Arjen Lucassen, Steven Wilson, Tomas Bodin, etc. There is always a dark yet beautiful atmosphera created by Xavier and the others artist. Truly amazing music.
WOW!! SUPERB MUSIC ....!!
How did I miss it all these years
Phideaux
Egyetértek!
Thank you for the upload. again.
Thanks again for your support!
You have good taste... :)
Truly a prog masterpiece, with elements of ELP, Yes, Genesis and dare I say, Susanne Vega?? Listen closely and you will hear it.
Rob Hare Can add elements of Jethro Tull, Mike Oldfield and Pink Floyd to that. Phideaux is to prog rock what ABBA was to pop: able to seamlessly incorporate all the best elements of his genre into his songs so they fit perfectly!
Rob Hare In addition Anglagard
I've not heard of them. Will have to check them out.
It reminds me of the early Pink Floyd with Syd Barrett. Really excellent songwriting. I like it very much. 👍👍
Superb! Can't wait (though I have waited a very long time) for Infernal to come out!
16:45 impressive, very impressive!!
This particular album is so very underrated, even in comparison to Phideaux's others.
This music is a superb example of everything that is great with progressive rock.

11:15 so amazing
For me, the whole album is amazing!! ;)

If you can, buy the vinyl version, it sounds awesome!!
Sir Bomb I saw him live with his full band in Québec City last year, i consider myself very lucky... If you search on my channel you'll find a video i filmed. ;)
+Sir Bomb Yes it's one of the best music parts I've ever heard in any music!
Like the Marillion or Genesis best moments union in this track!
+lesclaypool0727 Yes, this is very fascination Music with many inflluences of some other bands. Great stuff.
sounds a touch of alan parsons with kate bush on top of prog
I don't hear any further development if you compare it with "Mind Over Matter" from 1998 by the Swedish band Galleon, for example.
9:45 !
Floyd's evolution
First comment and it's a great one!! ;)
7:19
magic flute...
Roger Waters
In his wildest dreams perhaps. Roger Waters never wrote anything this amazing, in my not so humble opinion.
