Cloudscape is a Swedish band with a sound reminiscent of early Genesis, although updated with some contemporary metal influences. Unfortunately, this group has exactly the same problem as the early Genesis albums, a tendency toward directionless meandering. Most of the tracks are fairly long, and seem to wander from theme to theme, without any sense of coherence. The instrumental playing is very good, with multiple overdubs that create a dense sonic backdrop, but in the end this does not compensate for the fundamental lack of melody.
