A well-executed set of retro-symphonic prog. If Elder were 30 years older they might sound like this. As with Ring Van Mobius, Jordsjo, and others, the aim is to be a conduit of an archaic ethos. Self expression is secondary and might happen by accident. I didn?t hear much of it here. Born is a convincing forgery and achieves the purpose of excluding any element that might betray its true year of origin. Never mind that the age it evokes was an ultimate moment of innovation and change and all the instruments they?re playing and recording technology they use beat down the doors of convention and screamed to be further evolved. Metal Blade see this as an obvious marketing opportunity. We?ll see, but as much as this aesthetic is a bliss potion to its adherents and turned some tickets and wax in its day, it has proven stubbornly un-universal in its appeal. Who do they sound like? Maybe Sebastian Hardie on more qualudes or a Deep Purple-infused Nektar.
