Review: Atomic Symphony – Nemesis

This promising rising star turns out to be their own worst enemy.

An improvement on the usual formula, but not a dream come true.

When the album title is longer than the excerpt.

An intriguing shift in direction but ultimately a disappointing follow-up.

Maybe leave this one in the proverbial haystack.

One month to write, six years to produce.

What prog album would be complete without a Derek Sherinian guest spot and a Carl Sagan audio sample?

The Algorithm giveth, The Algorithm taketh away.

We sing now one very long song.

An exploration of musical negative space that’s defined as much by absence as by its own content.
