End Of Time (CD)
This CD grabbed us from the get go, simply one of the most aurally attractive albums we've heard in a while. From Toronto, Moebius Cat's second album End of Time was released as a digital download in 2010, then as this CD on the MALS label in 2012. Moebius Cat feature beautiful female vocals on some of the songs, male vocals on others. (There are two male vocalists; one sounds like David Bowie.) The songs with female vocals are our favorites. The music here is modern in the best sense: richly-textured and detailed while still leaving space in the mix, often with that seductive, cinematic, ambient feel that Lebowski and Frequency Drift also have. Some songs (It's Over, for instance) would work on an Iona or October Project album, others on an Afro-Celt Sound System or Peter Gabriel album. Accordion, violin, and flute play important roles in addition to the usual guitars, keys, bass and drums. The music is melodic, emotional, and just far enough out of the current prog mainstream to capture the ears of the jaded prog fan. You can preview the entire 57-minute album (mp3 icon above), but at least listen to the title track -- its chorus will lodge in your cranium until you displace it with something else.
