Is there a point at which ‘including a diverse range of styles’ turns into ‘spreading oneself too thin’? If there is, an album covering 50 years of prog rock/metal has as much chance as any of finding it.

There is only one track on this album. The listed track 1 'single version' is not part of the official release. The album length (one long song-- I Have Little To No Memory of These Memories) is 47:49.

The first album since What Kind Of Creature Am I? that I have no interest in listening to more than once. It spans so many genres, as the Bandcamp description hints at, but none of them are executed in any novel way. I might give this another go while it's fresh...

I've never listened to this s band before, I have to say I'm impressed, this is a very good album indeed, even if a wee bizarre at times. It's a very interesting concept album, almost like a compilation of albums put together. There's ton of unique synth work on display, and the guitar work is fantastic, in particular some of the acoustic work, and the epic solo nearly 40 minutes in. It's brimming with joyous melodies, and some mighty fine vocal work too.

It's very 70's inspired, like a mix of Rush, Jethro Tull and Yes, three bands of which I've always been very fond of, there is also a wee bit of a Queen influence in here too, so I'm obviously very happy happy that but there is also many more influences and styles mixed in, I'm even hearing some sludge mid way through.

Absolutely outstanding album. My biggest issue is the fact it's unnecessarily a one track album. I love many one track albums but this just doesn't have the continuous flow that a one track album should have. There's parts throughout when it feels like one track has ended and a new track has begun. I just wish this was split up into tracks. It would work way better. Still a mighty fine album.
