Synopsis

Album Description

The Tangent brings together the UK and Sweden, two nations with a rich heritage of Progressive Rock. British native, Andy Tillison, is joined once again by Roine Stolt, singer, guitarist, and frontman of Sweden's The Flower Kings, to collaborate as The Tangent. Joined again by fellow Flower Kings members, Jonas Reingold (bass) and Zoltan Csorsz (drums), The Tangent create a sublime mixture of neo-prog and classic Canterbury-style Progressive Rock. The World That We Drive Through features a mix of gorgeous melodies, lush jazz-inflected instrumental passages and virtuoso musicianship. The Tangent is already scheduled to headline the Rights of Spring Festival (ROSfest) in Philadelphia this coming April.

CD Reviews

Slightly Disappointing

Kurt Harding | Boerne TX | 11/30/2006

(3 out of 5 stars)

"After obtaining and enjoying Tangent's debut album, I was looking forward to this follow-up with relish. When I first played the World That We Drive Through, I did not much care for it at all. But after shelving it for a while then listening to it repeatedly on a recent road trip, I came to like it a bit more though I still find it slightly disappointing.

While this CD has its moments, there is very little of the majesty that makes the debut effort so appealing. With the all-star cast of musical giants, the listener is not wrong to expect better. There seems to be no unifying theme and the final cut, Exponenzgesetz, sounds completely out of sync with what loose structure there is.

What is the advantage of the Special Edition over the regular release? I don't know, since I have not heard the other, but I suspect in this case its the attractive booklet that accompanies the CD. When the difference in price is slight, or if the special edition is packed with extras, I always opt for it and generally find it to be financially worthwhile and spiritually satisfying.

I can recommend this if you are a hardcore prog fan, but if you were to buy just one Tangent album, I suggest the debut CD or A Place In the Queue instead."
