Our Take

The latest offering from Downes Braide Association, "Celestial Songs," is a whimsical journey through the outer limits of pop music. Geoff Downes, known for his work in prog-rock outfits like Yes and Asia, teams up with singer-songwriter Chris Braide to create a spellbinding collection of tracks that will take you to another dimension.

From the opening track, "Your Heart Will Find The Way," to the closing notes of "Jupiter Sonata," this album is a sonic adventure like no other. Downes' intricate keyboard work perfectly complements Braide's ethereal vocals, creating a sound that is at once otherworldly and undeniably catchy.

Standout tracks include the dreamy "Glacier Girl" and the infectious "Tomorrow." But it's the album's title track, "Celestial Songs," that truly steals the show. With its pulsating synths and soaring melodies, it's a space-age anthem that will have you dancing among the stars.

But "Celestial Songs" isn't all cosmic vibes and futuristic sounds. Tracks like "Vanity" and "Warm Summer Sun" bring a touch of nostalgia to the mix, reminding us that even in the far reaches of the universe, there's always room for a bit of heartache and longing.

Overall, "Celestial Songs" is a triumph of imagination and musicianship, blending the best of prog-rock, pop, and electronica into a delicious sonic cocktail. So grab your headphones, close your eyes, and let Downes Braide Association take you on a journey to the stars. You won't regret it.
