The
brainchild of Pete Trewavas and Eric Blackwood, the
band known as Edisons Children are back in a big way
with their 2014 CD entitled The Final Breath Before November.
Definitely falling into the progressive rock camp, the CD is superbly
packaged and is broken down into 16 tracks, with the majority of the
tracks incorporated into the massive, 13 part suite called Silhouette.
Interestingly, The Final Breath Before November features a
number of mixers, including Jakko Jaksyzk and Mike Hunter,
involved in attaining the sonic perfection. The sonic vision is quite
gothic in places while the CD booklet is filled with lyrics to all
the tracks. Trewavas and Blackwood are both excellent guitarists,
vocalists and multi-instrumentalists and they get solid support throughout
by a number of musicians and sonic masters, including Henry Rogers
(drums), along with special guests Steve Rothery (guitar),
Mark Kelly (voice, keys), Steve Hogarth (voice) and
many others. The Edisons Children sound is dark and haunting
but progressive rock fans will marvel at the high levels of sonic
perfection implemented throughout the album. Edisons Children
seems to excel in this gothic brand of prog-rock and overall, The
Final Breath Before November is a most welcome follow up to the
band's 2011 CD In The Last Waking Moments. www.EdisonsChildren.com
