The Neal Morse Band - The Similitude Of A Dream flac album

The Similitude of a Dream is the second studio album by progressive rock supergroup The Neal Morse Band, released on November 11, 2016. It is a concept album, loosely based on The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan. All lyrics written by Neal Morse; all music composed by Neal Morse, Mike Portnoy, Randy George, Bill Hubauer and Eric Gillette. Neal Morse – lead vocals, keyboards, 6 & 12 string electric guitars, percussion, mandolin. Mike Portnoy – drums, vocals.

The Tilburg audience is treated to over 2 hours of astounding Neal Morse Band-style prog. The venue is excellent, with wide open sight-lines and fantastic lighting throughout. This is the first time we’ve seen him use props and costume changes to act out a character from an album. Extra points to Eric Gillette for the superb audio mix on this release. What some may not quite glean from the studio recording of The Similitude Of A Dream is the sheer quantity of vocal harmonies on this album. At times 3, 4 and even all 5 band members are flexing their vocal muscles, creating a delicious blend of melody and harmony. They even manage to extend a bit of the Hubauer penned The Ways of a Fool simply to highlight this vocal interplay.

THIS is THE ALBUM of mine (& Neal's) careers. Clocking in at over 100 minutes on 2 CDs, this amazing piece of prog storytelling will leave you breathless, exhilarated, amused, and fulfilled in a way that only inspired music can.

There is additional instrumentation on various tracks (String quartet, Saxophone, a horn section, lap-steel guitar, a choir, et. provided by a slew of guest musicians. This statement is no exaggeration. This ambitious double album, loosely based on the novel, The Pilgrim’s Progress, by John Bunyan, takes the listener on a demanding emotional ride. From start to finish, it is engaging, original, catchy, and memorable. The songwriting is absolutely brilliant, and NEVER once comes off as repetitive. The overall sound is based around a rock band, but the music is very much progressive music in the classic sense.
