Pure Reason Revolution
 

A Prog band with elements of Porcupine Tree, Barclay James Harvest and Yes-those two especially in the vocal harmonies. I am really digging these. There is a lot of potential. Here is their myspace page. Anyone liking it, I can up their album THE DARK THIRD.

I know a girl who's been trying to promote them for at least a year and a half now and I did give them a listen when she first mentioned them but I really can't remember any of their songs. I'll give them another listen because I'm sure I liked what I heard.

seen them live about 5 times... thought they were awesome live, then they released the EP which was horribly overproduced... they have a long track (cant remember the name) which is stunning live but sounded **** recorded. disappointing.

We still need to promote them! I have'nt seen them live and there is certain aspects of their music I'm not into. All in all though, I like them. Twin vocalists. Harmonys. Metal riffs and Pink Floyd noodlings-PROGGY MAN get your ass here now!

Right. I've given them a proper chance now. I love Nimos And Tambos and I like a load of their longer songs but I consider them background music more than anything else.

Not bad at all.

Bumped. Recieved The Dark Third on import today. Excellent.

I was expecting something a bit less catchy by your description, but it definitely has a sort of Spock's Beard-esque pop charm to it.

I saw this band live back in early 2005, one of the first shows I ever went to. They were supporting a band I went to see (Mew), and they were fcking amazing. I had no idea who they were til that night, but I was very impressed. Still never heard anything by them on record though, could never find anything back then.

That was great :)
Sounds more like Muse...more accessible imo.
And whats with the electronic stuff? Is it part of their sound?(Although i like it :p:)

I have only heard The Dark Third and was impressed. Did not sound THAT similar to PT thought. Many of the riffs were not that catchy also.

Overall good band though, i look forward to hearing more.

Just got The Dark Third. It is a great album, and I hope to see more from this band.

Sorry for being a necro.

Man the more i listen to the Dark Third the more it reminds me of Porcupine tree with some added aspects such as the female vocalist. (anyone know her name?)

Apprentice of the Universe is fantastic. Like PT there heavy riffing is great.

Just checking these guys out...I have to say I LOVE the vocals. Thanks for posting this!

P.S. Listening to Twyncyn Willows right now...great song.

The Dark Third is one of the best Prog albums that I've heard in some time. I won't say they beat Porcupine Tree, in my book, but they are great. I think they work the Pink Floyd influence in just the right places, and having a male/female vocal team puts them in a league of their own. Big hearty thumbs up from THIS cowboy...

Listening to them on myspace and i LOVE what I am hearing.

Where would be a good place to start?

The Dark Third. I am pretty sure it is their only album.

I got that album. It's brilliant.

The have and EP and a demo. Both are pretty short.

According to wiki, they have 2 studio albums, a live album and an EP.

I can't imagine the Demo would be much except to the crazed fans.

So, I have secured an interview with PRR (specifically Jon). I have drafted most of my questions, but if any of ya'll have anything you'd like to ask, let me know, and I'll see what I can do (I can do the whole "X, from Z country, Y town, of P age" thing if you want).

Fire away :P
