Synopsis

Album Description

Graveyard Mountain Home is the third release from Chroma Key, the brainchild of Kevin Moore, original keyboardist and founding member of progressive metal masters, Dream Theater. Kevin is also the mastermind behind last year?s hugely successful release, OSI Office of Strategic Influence. As the musical director of Dream Theater, Kevin was responsible for writing the majority of the band?s 1991 release, Images and Words as well as the hit single, Pull Me Under. Images and Words would go on to achieve gold-records status, selling over 500,000 in the U.S. alone. Kevin left Dream Theater in 1993, immediately after recording the band?s follow up release, Awake, citing musical differences as the reason and went on to release the first Chroma Key CD, Dead Air For Radios. Dark and spacious, Chroma Key?s sound has been called the antithesis of Dream Theater. Kevin?s haunting vocal style and insightful lyrics weave through dream-like, often maudlin soundscapes.

CD Reviews

Critical contemporary electronic release of 2004

Alan F. Paredes | vallejo, ca | 12/24/2004

(4 out of 5 stars)

"creative and expressive musical compositions of various forms predominately electronic but also incorporating interesting and subtle use of acoustic and non-synth sounds and beats. like a mix of bonobo, her space holiday, devics, squarepusher, and all such artists in a soundtrack tapestry. at times the mood is abrupt in between pieces that seem a bit sudden and whimsical. yet they all seem to be of the same family. i only wish there were more of Kevin Moore's clever and solemn lyric and voice as it gives the music that added dimension.

notice i didn't mention crap like Fates Warning, OSI and Dream Theater above - no relation at all. good."

A step forward

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I don't know why Kevin Moore is still associated with the damn prog scene. That's why you get reviews like the previous one from people who cannot understand music without tempo changes and wankery. If you are open minded and like bands like Tortoise and Aphex Twin you will like this record. Even though, I think the two other Chroma Key records are better."
