Troika is a project of Neal Morse, Nick D'Virgilio and Ross Jennings. All three musicians have been known in the prog rock world for their capabilities on guitars and drums respectively. However, what is immediately apparent from the opening track "Everything I Am", the album's focal point are the vocal harmonies which remain impressive throughout this one-hour journey. Instrumentally, the record contains eleven tracks constructed around lush acoustic guitars, gentle choruses and dexterous percussions. Mellow in the ear, easily digestible, but not a landmark. Recommendations: "Another Trip Around the Sun", "Julia", "Everything I Am", "You Set My Soul on Fire".
