Pure Reason Revolution - Coming Up To Consciousness (CD) - CD

Details: Limited two CD digipak edition. 2024 release. "Coming Up To Consciousness" is Pure Reason Revolution's sixth studio album, and the third of it's post-hiatus renaissance that began with 2020's "Eupnea" and continued in 2022's "Above Cirrus". Like those two predecessors, the new record is intensely personal. While the band's distinctive style remains, melding prog and pop through dreamy moods, epic riffs and angelic harmonies, Courtney and Greg Jong also tried to go somewhere a bit different, drawing on influences like Talk Talk, Elliot Smith, The Smile and even Arctic Monkeys in addition to perennial favourites - especially Pink Floyd.
