While many progheads will enjoy this CD, I got a sneaking suspicion this is more of a spoof of the prog rock genre. This Massachusetts band released this sole CD in 2004, and that seems to be it from them (Update: or so I thought, they just came up with a new CD called Creation of the Humanoids in 2014 - why the 10 year wait for a new CD?). For one thing, one reason I get a feeling they're spoofing prog is the cover is hilariously cheesy, depicting a toy wind-up grey alien. The fake Mellotron is so blatantly so, especially the tron choir sections (it's obvious it's not an M-Tron, as they do a good job at tron samples, so I almost got a feeling they used a cheap or free downloaded Mellotron VST plugin). Bassist Bill Noland must have been some sort of Magma fanatic (or perhaps Anekdoten), he uses that same heavily fuzzed bass Jannick Top did or the bassist for Anekdoten, while Madeline Noland uses lots of Emerson-like organ, plus analog modeling synths, fake mellotron, and clavinet (not sure if the clavinet is real, it's probably a Clavia Nord Electro, either original or Electro 2). This group weren't the most technically skilled musicians so they played within their means, you won't mistake Mark Cella's drumming for that of Bill Bruford or Carl Palmer. Another suspicion I feel this is a prog spoof is the ridiculous song titles, quoting from science fiction, including Forbidden Planet. They're all instrumental, though, I'd hate to know what the lyrics would have been like had they included a singer. At least they didn't try the Roger Dean school of album cover artwork taken to it extreme conclusion (they probably felt that was best left alone, hence the wind-up grey alien toy). Eccentric Orbit, to me, is the Mystery Science Theater 3000 of prog. I wouldn't doubt if the members of the band loved MST3K. No it's not the most mindblowing prog you'll hear, but I still find it enjoyable.
