"Lemur Voice is an absolutely phenominal group. They rival Dream Theater; they're that good. Gregor Vander Loo has such an amazing voice. He has great range and emotion. Marcel Coenen can rip on the guitar. His technique, feel, and taste are truly unique. The other musicians are equally incredible. Lemur Voice has a very unique style, with a few hints of Dream Theater. Their music is very progressive. They start out with the amazing opener, "Intuition", which is a heavy DT type tune. "Akasha Chronicles" is one of the coolest instrumentals you will ever hear. "Celestial Haze" is a smooth keyboard-based instrumental, that soothes your soul. Vanderloo's voice is used as an instrument on that one. "More of Nothing" is my other favorite. It is an amzing prog rocker. Lemur Voice's music has so many textures and moods. Unfortunately, they are no longer a band. They put out another album, "Divided", on another label, but I have only been able to get it from MP3.com. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DIVIDED, IT RULES! If you love prog metal at it's very best, buy this album. Lemur Voice is one of the all-time greats. 1000 stars!"

Oh, sweet melodic prog metal, how I love thee....

A Modern Masterpiece

"This disc contains all things progressive: dynamic shifts, inventive arrangements, strong ensemble playing, solid songwriting and that intangible "it" quality that keeps you coming back again and again. The vocalist proves that not all prog bands have to have bad vocalists. His tone and range is a powerful blend of Steve Perry and early Bruce Dickenson. The players are not easily categorized in terms of influences and THAT'S refreshing! They have since disbanded after recording their follow-up 'Divided.' If you like prog you should own this disc. Period."
