"I love Shadow Gallery and was very saddened by the death of Mike Baker. That is why I was so glad to learn that the band would continue on in the memory of the fallen singer. Of course, my first thought was who can replace Baker? And the answer is no one, but new singer, Brian Ashland, is very good in his own right. To be honest, when I first listened to Digital Ghosts (before I read who the guests were) I thought that Geoff Tate had sang on a few of the songs. Specifically, the songs Pain and Gold Dust. I later found out that Ashland sang these songs. I was very surprised by this, because it really sounds like Geoff Tate...I mean really. So can Ashland hold his own? Most definitely. For the other aspects of the album, this is still Shadow Gallery playing exceptional progressive metal. If you are a fan of their other albums, you will love Digital Ghosts. Even without Baker. The compositions are still complex yet accessible. The instrumentation is still impeccable. The songs are memorable. It is most definitely a Shadow Gallery album, and I couldn't be happier with where they are in the post-Baker era."

The Latest, the best

"Shadow Gallery is one of the finest, most skilled bands I've heard in a while. I mean a while. I listened to all the Prog bands in the 70's, despaired of the falloff of Prog in the 80's and rejoiced about it's resurgance in the 90's. So by now,there seems to be a new and higher level of musicianship in the world. Thankyou! These guys know their instruments, but also know the craft of producing clever and interesting music. I'll admit, I had to listen to "Digital Ghosts" a couple of times to wrap my brain around it. I found myself listening to it more often until I could hear it in my head. Despite the fact that they lost one of their musical brothers, this latest effort will satiate anyone's appitite for a great album. Highly recommended Prog music."

Excellent Craftsmanship
