CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description A mesmerizing CD that will put the listener into an unknown world. Masterfuly blending the styles of gothic and doom, with the ethereal sounds of a new age. Visionaire will appeal to many, including those pink floyd fans who wanted something yet a little deeper. And perhaps a little darker.....This band has opened the box of enslavement and cares not for rules or an orthodox style. Unlimited is the only rule in this domain. The vocals are clear and ominous, akin to bands like pink floyd and paradise lost. The guitars range from heavy and dark, to light and airy. The keys soar through ancient dimensions. What lurks behind these 11 songs remains a mystery. Only one thing for sure, you will feel the melody and melancholy sifting through your mind as you're pulled into the world of Visionaire.

CD ReviewsAmazing 12/10/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is an incrediblr piece of new wave, gothic, and doom all combined to fit a moody flowing album. This is all produced, and Performed by James Allin. He writes all the music and lyrics. From the first second you put it on you are overwhelmed by flowing tunes, the lyrics are very poetic, and his vocal rythms fit the album well. Throughout the album there is a constant soft background drumming, for the foreground music. He is reasonably talented in guitar, bass, and drums. But what most amazes me about this album is that it is done by one person. EVERY track is solid, and there is not one moment of boredom on this whole cd, it starts strong with Shillhoette of Mind, possibly my favorite song on this album, and progresses through transitional instrumentals, (Arcanum Hall, and The Myriad Will Culminate are great songs, both involving woman vocals)to the end, last song, Ascension Passage, another great one. The crunching guitar solos often remind me of all tiamat's albums, past there live album(sleeping beauty) and mark high on my favorite disc range. Also it sounds quite like Pink Floyd at its lighter moments with, especially with the poetic lyrics, and usage of rythm in his vocals. I recommend this album to any fan of rock!" Almost a 5 star.... mike | 07/31/2002 (4 out of 5 stars) "firstly it was a great cd from start to finish reminding quite a bit of Tiamat with their "wildhoney" and "A deeper kind of slumber" sound. The fact that this Visionaire project is done by one man is simply astounding. At first few listens i was wondering a bit about how much I liked this but then it really started growing on me with the moods presented. I would recommend this cd if you really like Tiamats wildhoney and A Deeper kind of slumber as Visionaire fits perfectly into that mold. This cd certainly has the depth and talent to continue where Tiamat left off. I would have given this 4 1/2 stars if I could." We need more bands like this one! tom davison | 04/27/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "I like this CD a lot. The first song starts off a mood of a depressive floating state of mind and introduces some nice crunchy guitars to add spice at the right times. This is for fans of Goth, Rock, Pink Floyd (you can hear a heavy Pink Floyd influence throughout Visionaire, only make it a little heavier and doomy). "Fragmented" and "Conquest" are heavier songs to snap you away from the moodiness for a while until James comes along and transforms your mind state with his excellent writing and structuring skills. What can I say? This thing needs a few complete listens before you can capture all the depth on here but once you do, the mysteries will unfold! A must have for sure."
