Our Take

'Rhetoric' is our 2nd album, and it was released on the 19th September 2005 - which is spooky because that's exactly 11 years to the day that our first album 'Field of Vision' was released! It took a little while in coming along, but it was finished in March 2005, and with a minor remix of one of the songs and a lot of hard work on the artwork we managed to get it ready for September. We used to be on the Cyclops record label, but as it was so long since the release of the last album we were out of contract and so could cast about for other record labels. It was certainly a hard choice as to whether to stay with Cyclops or move on, and we finally settled on moving over to join F2. The move to F2 has given us a fresh view as they're committed to the music and pushing hard in a market which is always squeezed by the mainstream.

The music fits fairly and squarely into the Progressive Rock bracket, but one of the things we believe in is to make sure there are plenty of melodies rather than wowing everyone with our virtuosity! We play some wicked solos - of course - but there's plenty to hum along with as well. The production on this album is something we've paid particular attention to and with Karl Groom of Thin Ice mixing we think it is second to none.

As for the musical themes, they vary from hard hitting lyrics in Skintrade, quiet and thought-provoking in From the Cradle, powerful and anthemic in Seems Like Yesterday, to out and out creamy guitar solos in Turn The Gun. We've included some samples from the album on the right, so you can judge for yourself.
