H.L. We listened to PRR quite often in the first phase of their career and I thought it was a shame that the band split up. Only recently I discovered that PRR was back, I had already missed two albums and I filled in the gaps. Their progressive but also catchy rock/pop with the harmonious vocals is simply unmistakable and wonderfully dynamic. "Coming up to Consciousness" is the strongest revival phase album. It is more catchy, more to the point and has a great melancholic atmosphere. Beautiful! Favorite track: The Gallows.

album a liitle bit more melodic, more
melancholie , and sadness.

AND THE VOICE OF ANNICKE Favorite track: Bend the Earth.

kaladin405 This is the best PRR album since The Dark Third. Shorter songs, more pointed, tight melodies, great hooks. Outstanding. And while I love Ms. Alper, I think I prefer Guy Pratt's bass and Annicke Shireen's vox :) Favorite track: Betrayal.

about

24-bit / 48K HD audio. Includes 18-page digital booklet

"Coming Up To Consciousness" is Pure Reason Revolution’s sixth studio album, and the third of its post-hiatus renaissance that began with 2020's "Eupnea" and continued in 2022's "Above Cirrus". Like those two predecessors, the new record is intensely personal.While the band's distinctive style remains, melding prog and pop through dreamy moods, epic riffs and angelic harmonies, Courtney and Greg Jong also tried to go somewhere a bit different, drawing on influences like Talk Talk, Elliot Smith, The Smile and even Arctic Monkeys in addition to perennial favourites - especially Pink Floyd

It is fresh, it has pictures inside the music, it is fast and different to what I listened before and I like the room inside the tracks. mr_rossi

The Likes Of Us (24-bit HD audio)
by Big Big Train

supported by 22 fans who also own “Coming Up To Consciousness (24-bit HD audio)”

A dour, sullen album by BBT. It contains none of the weird zaniness that Spawton (Hedgerow, Kingmaker, Keeper of Abbeys) or Longdon (Leopards, Wassail, Judas Unrepentant) brought to the band in previous albums. Nor does it contain any of Spawton's detached sociological commentary on blue collar workers (Swan Hunter, Seen Better Days). This is serious and reflective BBT. Understandable given the circumstances, but let's hope that they lighten up with the next one. rationaldude123

Fell in love with BBT recently, absolutely love the stories they tell and the music. Very sad to hear about David’s passing, listening now is quite moving, moved to tears from time to time, but we move on as I hope BBT will with David in our hearts. tonyauroristony58

The album takes off nicely with David Longdon's "The Strangest Times", but then gets into immediate free fall and deeply underwater for the next few tracks, quite unexpectedly. Fortunately, it recovers with Nick D'Virgilio's "Apollo" (hey, this guy CAN write good music, although he hides this ability most of the time) and the remaining three tracks, one of which is another Longdon masterpiece. So in the end the final impression is somewhat in the positive range. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
