TO<\/strong>T<\/strong>P Pick of 2016<\/strong> \u2013 Thanks to The Progressive Aspect and Mark A France who included \u2018Invisible Din\u2019 in his top three albums of the year; \u201cLowe & Brzezicki\u2019s ESP\/Invisible Din: Tony Lowe and Mark Brzezicki very recently released what I am calling one of the BEST progressive rock albums in years<\/strong>. From the opening \u201cOverture\u201d to the closing \u201cAlmost Seen\u201d, this is a true voyage for the prog aficionado!\u201d The Progressive Aspect<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"Fireworks<\/a>\u201c\u2018Invisible Din\u2019 is good. Oh, it\u2019s good alright. This is big, important Prog\u2026\u201d<\/strong> Steve Swift<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 Fireworks<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026one of the best prog releases this year. Fantastic album!\u201d<\/strong> \u2013 Campbell Stewart<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve now listened to the album three times and the concept stands up really well. The production adds a Floydian feel to some of the material and the tracks evoke appropriate emotions: sometimes reflective, sometimes elation. The work is remarkably melodic\u2026and repeated listening has revealed further layers and previously unnoticed jazzy moments. It\u2019s impossible to choose a favourite track because the album holds together beautifully.<\/strong> ESP: All symphonic progressive rock fans should buy Invisible Din<\/em> and make every effort to go to see them on tour.\u201d Gareth\u2019s Prog Blog<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cInvisible Din<\/em> is an excellent album, the kind that the leaders of prog used to make<\/strong>, fashioned over hours of careful and thorough practice\u2026.a wonderland of sounds that will take you back to a different era. Get this album and experience music made by consummate professionals, the way it used to be.\u201d Professor Mark \u2013 The Progressive <\/a><\/strong>Aspect<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

TIP (Highly Recommended) \u2013<\/strong> \u201cThe traditionally constructed symphonic rock has a melancholic atmosphere\u2026 due to the prominent, often compelling guitar playing and the\"iO<\/a> melodic as well as furious saxophone-parts there\u2019s a clearly sharper edge to ESP. Yet the statelier works dominate, especially because solemn Mellotron-like sounds, vital Moog-riffs and robust Hammond organ passages are frequently embedded in the medium length, multi-part compositions.\u201d Ren\u00e9 Yedema \u2013 Dutch progressive rock-magazine iO Pages, No. 140<\/a> \u2013 English Translation<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

4\/5 Stars<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cThe symphonic\/big sound created make this album one that will stand up to repeated plays. Interesting listen and it certainly grabs the listener\u2019s attention taking them on a marvelous musical journey.\u201d Jason Ritchie \u2013 Get Ready to ROCK!<\/a><\/strong>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

9\/10 Stars <\/strong>\u2013 \u201cInvisible Din<\/em>\u201d is quite brilliant, and surprisingly accessible<\/strong>\u2026the songs are epic journey\u2019s often encompassing two or three parts, and many with huge instrumental passages \u2013 and the phenomenal Saxophone of Jackson at the end of \u201cThrough The Dream\u201d is worth buying this record for alone \u2013 but all with the idea that this should be enjoyed not endured and there is nothing remotely \u201cchallenging\u201d (always a dread word) about this quite glorious 70 minutes.\u201d\u00a0 Andy Thorley at Maximum Volume Music<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

4.5\/5 Stars<\/strong> \u2013 \u201c\u2026it\u2019s difficult not to be swept away by the masterful touch and sounds on show.<\/strong> Keep in mind however that Invisible Din<\/i> is a slow burn, an album t\"Rhythm\"<\/a>hat at first feels intriguing, before slowly revealing its true and quite breathtaking strengths. There\u2019s little doubt that prog is where it\u2019s \u2018at\u2019 once again, stunning albums seemingly dropping from nowhere on a monthly basis to amaze and impress. What Lowe and Brzezicki have created with ESP however, is right up there with, if not beyond many of the best of them.\u201d Steven Reid at the Sea of Tranquility<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

8\/10<\/strong> Stars \u2013<\/strong> from Martin Howell in the November issue of POWERPLAY<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

4\/5 Stars \u2013<\/strong> \u201cProducer\/guitarist Tony Lowe\u2019s project with Big Country and session ace Mark Brzezicki has yielded an eclectic album packed full of progressive rock and fusion.\u201d \u2013 November Issue of Rhythm Magazine<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s top quality prog no matter where you drop the needle<\/strong>, but early doors it\u2019s \u201cThrough The Dream\u201d, \u201cSearching The Banks For A Memory\u201d and \u201cAlmost Seen\u201d that get me moist.\u00a0 An essential album for prog fans.\u201d Zeitgeist and The Rocker<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cEsp -\u2019Invisible Din<\/em>\u2019-listened to it in its entirety. It just about blew my mind! Beautiful arrangements, magical production and so emotional and dramatic \u2013 enrapturing, captivating, a masterpiece! Absolutely fantastic. Made me well-up in places. That sax, lead guitar, violin \u2013 powerfully emotive. The drumming is just phenomenal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thank you to those who have taken the time to listen to, and review, the album~<\/em><\/p>\n
