Description: I did like the harmonies on this one. I believe this was the first song to use the new microphone. Not much to add, to be honest. I was hoping to use tape flanging, but one of the machines had a belt failure and the digital effects unit did a good enough job.

lyrics

Vampires in Reverse
(Original recording appears on 'The Mythical Creatures Exhibition', 2007)

The Sun is the Sin

We live by night and we sleep by day
Against the fear it's the only way
Beneath the stars we do everything
We cannot face what the day will bring

Day's not right
We live beneath the cover of the night
Fear the bright
They say the Devil gave us all the light

We plough the fields and we mow the hay
We do by night what we did by day
Before they came we were glad and free
But now the sun is our enemy

"There is lambswool under my naked feet..." - those words always come to my mind while listening to the first bars of "Wide Of The Mark". There's undoubtedly quite some "Genesis" heritage to be found in the music on this album. However, the band that is most closely related to "The ID" is certainly "IQ", which is among the favorite bands and artists named by both Peter Albrektsen (gtr, kbd) and Tim Pepper (v, kbd). So the similarity of the names "ID" vs. "IQ" is obviously not purely coincidental. Being a long-time admirer of the creative output of "IQ", this album inevitably reaches my heart. Sven B.

With its debut album, this young band from Vienna follows the footsteps of honorable Austrian prog masters like "Matter Of Taste". The music on this concept album is not of the kind I'd call particularly innovative - it travels pretty much on well known roads paved by many others long ago. However, these youngsters do it in a highly pleasant way, skillfully avoiding the pitfalls of pseudo-progressive phrase rehashing most of the time - certainly more successfully so than several of their experienced grand paragons of prog.
