They Say...
Released in late 1998, Crossing the Sound is Phreeworld's first CD. The band wanted to make an impression and it worked; although it is an independent release, these musicians went to great expenses to arrive at a professional product, both in terms of sound quality and packaging. The music belongs to the lighter side of progressive rock; that is, it always remains anchored in a song format. Phreeworld steers clear of the epic suite, with no tracks longer than eight minutes (and that is an exception). Of course, the song format implies catchy melodies and simple structures. Therefore, one could see Phreeworld belonging to neo-prog, but the band lacks the theatrics of this style. Simply put, Phreeworld plays intelligent rock songs sensitive to moods with strong musicianship and occasional prog asides. The group could be compared at times to Pink Floyd and to other pop-oriented prog outfits like Eddie Jobson's Zinc, John Wetton, or even Yoke Shire. All four musicians sing well, something that brings variety to the album. Arrangements are lush without becoming overcrowded and the music is instantly lovable. One wonders why no record label (either major or indie) has signed Phreeworld. Strongly recommended.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
