Scale The Summit are an instrumental prog band from Houston Texas. I think the average age of the band is 22 which is totally amazing considering how mature this second release is. The songs are perfectly flowing with an ambient Gordian Knot like feel, a real relaxing theme exists here and the musicianship is top notch from these 4 extremely talented guys, the production is crisp aswell. If you are expecting shredding you might be disapointed, this is very tastefully done and not instrumental for the sake of it as some instrumental bands can be quite boringly repetetive and unmemorable. Standout tracks are Glacial Planet and the gorgeous Dunes.I Really think The sky is the limit from this very young quartet and Carving Desert Canyons is right up there with Animals As Leaders as the instrumental find of the year for me personally and i have ordered the album as soon as i finished the first of the many spins this cd has had in my player. I really look forward to seeing where this band ends up in the next few years and i am already looking forward to the next release!! MARK BASTON |
