The Review:

Brady Arnold aka Vutdevuk (yes you read right) has been recording progressive based music as a one-man band for years and his latest release is Ice Age. Keyboard based prog fans will love this for it has a healthy dose of Mellotron as well as other classic era sounding keyboards. Brady combines both class symphonic and modern “neo” styles to get a moody collection of songs rooted in a winter theme. There are some jazzy moments as well as some complex area that reminds me of late 70's Genesis & Camel. Brady must have studied up and he delivers the goods!

Vocally Brady has a warmth and familarity to it. I can’t pinpoint it but I’m sure once you listen to his voice, you’ll agree.
