Almost a EBERHARD WEBER sound and feel here. "Steve's Song" (3:59) beautiful little instrumental with cool fretless bass chord play and piano. He's good but when compared to it's like comparing Grand Funk Railroad's DON BREWER "We're an American Band") with Mark Farner ("Closer to Home "). "The Razor's Edge" (4:57) here the lead vocal duties are handed over to drummer Bruce Gaetke. "Prelude" (2:31) here the electric guitarist and keyboard wizard get a chance to shine a bit while setting us up for the next (though, in fact, the two songs seem totally different and distinct from one another). David Bradley Mau is such a strong, confident singer-so like the vocal "gods" of the 1980s.

Not quite as dynamic as the opener, this is still great, engaging music, with well-balanced, professional performances from all involved-even the lyricist. "I Hear I See" (6:53) despite the more-overtly Christian lyrics, the music and presentation continue to establish this band as more proggy and more polished than 99.9% of the Christian rock I've heard. (I later found that the lead singer performing on this track was, in fact, the one and only Michael Sadler!) This is eminently listenable-even haunting me enough to draw me back for repeated visits. Solid drumming, great keyboard support in a PETER GABRIEL way, standard 1980s electric guitar power chords, and Michael Sadler or Ira Davies-like vocals. Nice sound with lots of melodic hooks coming from individual instruments, chords, vocals, and lyrics. "Living for a Better Day" (7:47) 1980s glam rock with bands like SAGA and a little bit of ICEHOUSE coming to mind with this one. (Neal Morse is the runaway leader in this genre, in my opinion.) Despite lots of styles and themes of other artists from the 70s and 80s being emulated here, this is a surprisingly engaging and refreshing album of solid classic rock-inspired Neo Prog.ġ. Rarely have I heard Christian Rock as clean, polished, and proggy as this.

The latest news from Time Horizon is that they are preparing and recording material for their second full length production, tentatively planned for an autumn 2012 release. Allen White (bass) and Dave Miller (guitars, keyboards) are the current additional full members. Since then Dickerson and Gourley have decided to leave the band. Following many years of honing their craft, the quartet got the opportunity to record and release their debut album Living Water on their own label Angelic Noice Records in 2011. And while nothing substantial came out of the process, Iron Clay Poets eventually disbanding, Otteson and Gaetke developed a friendship on a personal and musical level in the process.Ģ004 saw the two of them form a band, supplemented by Dickerson and Steve Gourley.
At some point Ralph Otteson and Dave Dickerson from this band approached Bruce Gaetke and wondered if he could mix some of their material. The history of US band TIME HORIZON can be traced back to another entity called Iron Clay Potes.
