Anyone here likes this band?
Their early material is very similar to king crimson's red/starless era. All of their albums are consistently good and for me, their only downside so far are the vocals. Perfectly listenable, but doesn't stand out in anyway. But other than that, the music is really great!
They also use the Mellotron quite frequently. The music has this Dark feel about it.

Vemod(their debut) is very similar to King Crimson's Red. Might even sound like a clone, but i don't mind that. They did evolve after this.
Nucleus(the follow up) is also in similar vein, but with their own touch. Very tight and heavy use of mellotron. A lot of their music is also bass driven.
Gravity and A Time of Day(their last two releases) are a bit more trippy & mellow, but not too mellow with enough happening to make it interesting. A Time of Day especially is great!

They are a typical prog. band though...Might appeal only for prog. fans.

The Old Man & the Sea
From Within
The Great Unknown
Karelia
Sad Rain
Thoughts in Absence

Anekdoten - MySpace

All are live videos...sound quality might not be all that great.
