I'm listening to it right now, and this is very enjoyable and professsional.

Can you tell us a bit about the keyboards used? I see a Nord Stage and a
Yamaha in your Live photo on the bandcamp site. Anything else?

Just my cup of tea. Very retro-proggy indeed. The (your?) high singing
voice is not exactly what I prefer (I hate Jon Anderson's style of
singing) but it's not in any way off-putting and the delivery is
top-notch (sometimes reminds me of Supertramp as well).


Thanks for sharing!
