Produced by John Young and Steve Rispin it’s also one the finest sounding albums I’ve heard for years with so much space between the instruments and even the notes of a particular instrument that the album seems to breathe. Altitude is a tapestry of delights ranging from the radio-friendly to the wistfully ambient, each sound as sonically pleasing as it could possibly be so I shall say no more except to sum up thus: this album represents the best of old-school Prog and the best of the New Prog rockers. Progressive Rock has finally progressed. --Glenn Williams (Music Writer In Japan)This album continues with their magical mix of prog dynamics and strong melody, but goes to even richer places than they’ve gone before. Of particular note is the solidifying of Dave Bainbridge on lead guitar. His guitar work really hits home throughout this album, particularly on Last One Home. You know those chills you get hearing Gilmour play in the crescendo of Comfortably Numb…yeah, it’s like that! …chills... If you’re not yet familiar with Lifesigns, you really need to be! This is the best album we’ve reviewed so far for 2021, and I’m sure we’ll see it in the top 5 by year’s end. --progcharts.com
