Synopsis

Album Description

Awaken's self titled debut album ushers in a new dawn of progressive rock. The album sets sail under tight musicianship and harmonies, complex melodies, soaring solos, and lush production. From the rock intricacy of The Musician, the worldview of Cry in the Wilderness, to the sublime Left Alone, Awaken takes the listener on a mind awakening journey.

CD Reviews

Above average prog

Wade C. Boring | Springfield, IL United States | 05/05/2001

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This was actually recorded in 1992, I have no idea whats happened to these guys since then. This CD is an enjoyable listen for those who like prog with alot of keys ala ELP or Cairo. There are almost too many changes in some of the songs, as if they were trying to cram everything onto one album. Organ changes to synth changes to fuzz guitar to chorused guitar etc... all interspersed with chants, whale noises and just about anything else you can think of. The end result, while being fun, can be annoying as just when you think you've caught a groove it changes direction. The playing is all top notch, the vocals are good (4 members sing) and the production is good. I would rate this as an above average first release and would really have liked to what these guys could have done as a followup."
