Mind’s Eye - A Gentleman’s Hurricane

Winston: Every band desires to have at least one absolute highlight in their career. Sometimes they keep trying but the purpose keeps being missed, sometimes the goal can be achieved and then it’s a double winner! Mind’s Eye already made a few albums before and they kept on getting better and better. After the most recent one of last year, ‘Walking on H2O’ they announced big plans for the follow up and yes, they succeeded!

‘A Gentleman’s Hurricane’ is presented in a very special way; apart from the CD album there is the DVD about the making of the album ·nd a comic that supports the story of the album. Indeed, a conceptual album with a not so original story but that is immediately forgiven because of the superb performances. The music really lives up to the total expectation; deliciously heavy, super composed and very movingly performed. The guys Daniel Flores, Johan Niemann and Andreas Novak bring the band to the highest level of quality. Mind’s Eye developed again and by this album I add them to the top of the genre. Spock’s Beard, The Flower Kings, Porcupine Tree please welcome Mind’s Eye to your ranks. This is the ‘Operation Mindcrime’ or ‘Scenes From A Memory’ of Mind’s Eye! With the visual support of Mr. Prog Art Mattias NorÈn ‘A Gentleman’s Hurricane’ will be booked as one of this years’ highlights, an instant classic even. Maximum compliments with an almost maximum appreciation.
