What a great moment, this first album of the Prog metal band Sun Caged is just a pure killing trip.
I remember one day, watching the "Star One tour" DVD of Arjen Lucassen; there was a young keyboardist named Joost Van Den Broek and he was very impressive and full of talent. And now, I'm so surprised to see him in this incredible band.
9 tracks full of energy and surprises...
"Sedation" is the starting point with melodic voice's lines, classique backgrounds; reminds me the first openning track from the "6 degrees..." of DT. "Sun Caged", now direct introduction in the Sun Caged world; strong rythms, progressive ambience in the chorus, Jazz and classic smooth piano stuffs. "Home" is starting slowly with acoustic's guitars and Keyboard's atmosphere. But return to the electrics and progressive's univers with a master instrumental part... "Soil" with the magic and wonderfull chorus like also in "Hollow". "Closing in" and the psychedelic's riffs. Back to the prog metal rythms with "The Eighth Day". My favourite one is "Secrets of Flight", full of Maestria and power sounds from Marcel Coenen (Guitar). "Unchanging" the slow song of the album, a pleasure for the ears...
I just have to say: "A MONSTER!!!" This album kick ass a lot !!!
Sometimes a little bit too much into the influences of the band... but it's a detail.
It's cool, well composed, funny, sad, strong, passion, hate....
It's SUN CAGED!

This is a great album indeed. Their second album is solid, too.
