about

When it comes to the subgenre of "progressive AOR" there is one name that almost immediately springs to mind, that of musician/producer extraordinaire Jeff Cannata. The AOR classic Arc Angel from 1983 is hailed by many as one of AOR's finest moments. Jeff's solo albums Images of Forever (1988) and Watching the World (1993) are melodic masterpieces (sadly both are out of print). Tamorok takes material from those releases, gives them new life via remastering, adds a host of new material and ties it all up into a musical package that exceeds the term "first rate".

The production is lush throughout; the arrangements captivating. When I use the term progressive AOR to categorize Jeff's works, I mean that the arrangements and structure are not of the stereotypical Verse-chorus-verse-chorus-solo-chorus-out format, yet the hooks and choruses are there in spades! Different enough in structure and arrangement to hold your attention, yet never so pretentious as to detract from the melodies and harmonies. If I had to make an aural comparison, I would say that this material is very similar to Big-Generator era Yes (one of the most underrated melodic albums ever released IMHO). This is a greatest hits package and then some; the new material integrates extremely well with the older. I cannot stress enough how excellent this album is.
