Leaps of Logic: A full on Toad composition and lyric. I knew the day he came in with “an idea for a new song” and then handed us all fully notated sheet music that I was in the right band of over achieving psychos. Watching him bust out 8 unique face melting shred expression sessions back to back for his solo, complete with on the spot harmonies and Brian May’s right hand meets Jeff Beck’s left hand sonorities was a treat to witness. Reminds me of a great piece of musical advice, “always be the worst player in the room, that way you learn the most.” I’m grateful to be in very good company in that regard.
lyrics
Leaps of Logic run around my head
And float into the ether where truth lies dead
My own reality supersedes the rest
No one else is smart enough to know that I know best
Truth is what I make it out to be
I create my own reality
I stack my version up against your own
Chosen and righteous standing all alone
Convinced am I, no one can change me
Leaps of logic create all that I see
Truth is what I make it out to be
I create my own reality
Speak the lies long enough and some start to believe
Honesty is irrelevant my goal is to deceive
Weak mind latch on to a message of distrust
Into my world of make believe my victims are thrust
Truth is what I make it out to be
I create my own reality

Sean Meyer: Vocals, electric guitars.
Mind and heart expanding avant-prog that's creatively off the charts but ultra catchy as well. The musicianship is excellent but never overshadows the joy it sounds like everyone had while creating this awesome album. Can't wait for Part 2! Thomas Gelfer
No one does music quite like Camille and Xavier do. I see their music as being akin to soundtracks for unfilmed movies. In this instance it is a movie about explorers of mountainous terrain, perhaps the terrain of our lives. Merci pour cette musique si intrigante. :-) sumbuk
The sibling in spirit to Zopp's Dominion, at least from my point of view: It, too, has been on the wishlist far too long and I'm more than glad that I finally bought this. And also a cornucopia of good things prog, past and present!
Strictly musically speaking this is a little harder hitting affair than Dominion, though. Carsten Pieper
