First of all- I am not entirely a stickler for the FLAC. Most of my music is saved in the mp3 format and I think the quality is suitable. For this band, however, I went for the FLAC and the extra couple bucks was money well spent.
Praang only played a few shows but the chemestry drew support from the old school as well as the future of music. Steve is calm but burning with an inner intensity, and the rhythm section is fluid and dead on.
For anyone interested in music theory, this second night at the Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom holds many secrets that the mainstream world has not unearthed. Even if you are not a musician, with an open mind the work of Praang will make sense to you at some level or another. Truly an epic 'side project'.
Thanks!
