VISIONARY POSITION
reviews   

RAVENHEART Webzine
UK 2008

Picture
PANIC ROOM  is a new band featuring current and ex members of Karnataka, Mostly Autumn, and Fish's band. Although the music does have progressive elements, it will certainly  appeal to a wider audience I would have thought.

Their debut CD 'Visionary Position' combines, rock, folk, jazz and world music influences.
​Another impressive release that can be found at the softer end of the rock spectrum.
And I like this!

It kicks off with the 8+ minute ultra catchy 'Elektra City'. It even changes pace midway, to end with a nice bluesy piano interlude to captivate your musical taste buds even further.
Anne-Marie Helder (ex Karnataka) is an awesome vocalist, and a lot of the music here could cross over into the mainstream if given the proper support.

Okay, it is not metal, but this is great stuff to chill out after a hard day at the office.
Second track in, 'Endgame (Speed Of Life)' is another awesome epic, running in at over 10 mins.
​But this album never becomes boring. We have 8 tracks on offer here, with a running time of 65 minutes.
Other highlights are 'Reborn', 'Apocalypstick' and the beautifully titled and rather haunting ' I Wonder What's Keeping My True Love Tonight'.

Basically though, the whole album offers a true sonic experience, and is worthy of ones attention, especially for fans who prefer the softer end of the genre.
There is a special edition of this album that can be found at the band's web site:  www.panicroom.org.uk 

To summarise this release -  just buy it!
