Stellar playing throughout makes for that emotional roller coaster. The long songs usually have extended instrumental sections of various different characters. The entire orchestra ends up adding a lot to the music, and fills out the sound nicely, as well as having a lot of memorable solo passages.

The intensity picks up about halfway through, with some fine harmonies and interplays. If you want more in-depth info on what's really waiting inside Doomsday Afternoon, look for the other reviews. Looking forward to buy other Phideaux albums, I rate this one with the maximum. The first thing I noticed when I listened to the album was that it sounded characteristically like Phideaux.
September 22nd Comments. I hope I haven't given the impression that this isn't a very good CD because it is and deserves your consideration. It's been just 48 hours since my review, rather negative, of "The Great Leap". The structure of the album is also very impressive, as it has many interludes, which are never too brief, as well as long, epic tracks "Micro Deathstar", "Microdeath Softstar".
The first 8 tracks are a little boring during about fourty minutes with virtually the same rythm from the drums.
The reedy timbre detracts rather than adds to the ambience and there are much better options to explore, it would seem.
It is an album with a clear shape, well balanced, filled with excellent songwriting and is more than competently played. We can also enjoy an orchestra with woodwind instruments French horn, clarinet and trumpet and violins and the both male as female vocals are strong and varied, including Matthew Parmenter who performed in on the USA Nearfest festival along Le Sfternoon and IQ.
Phideaux - Doomsday Afternoon - Music
East Dane Designer Men's Fashion. When I got this album, I was blown away with the opening epic. Hightlights in Doomsday Afternoon: The album is the second installment in a trilogy to be finished early next year with the release of Infernalwhich at this point the entire progressive community will be on the edge of their seats for.
Since the songs move, flow and segue into one another the album phidraux naturally a lot less approachable than other discs in the band's catalog, but once you get into this album there's no getting out, and you'll be doomed to play it at least once a day for a very long time.
And while I realize there is more than one female vocalist here, one of them sounds a bit like Maggie Reilly circa "Moonlight Shadow. If you like Phideaux, you may also like: With a name like "Phideaux", I expected a Frank Zappa influence "Phideaux" being the name and spelling he gave his tour buses - named after the poodle that appears in some of his songs. The strings are striking, and the vocals are biting. It wasn't at all what I expected. And unfortunately, Spin-It no longer gives much on trade for used CDs.
This one is difficult to rate. Here comes 'Doctrine' again. The multiple violins really get a chance to shine here as a dominant driving voice.

DOOMSDAY AFTERNOON
It's a moment I wait for every time I listen to this, and it's one of the most satisfying moments on the whole album.
Snowtorch CD Baby After the first part of the trilogy, the song powered Great LeapPhideaux has decided to move in a direction of using full blown song cycles, even turning the album into a definitive Act I doomday Act II.
Personally I doomsdqy that even Pink Floyd would have preferred to play this type of music for more than 40 years without evolving. Xavier could be on the verge of becoming a major player in the prog world for years to come.
Acoustic guitar is another one of their big instruments, and for this album in particular, they employ a number of orchestral instruments, such as flute, oboe, the string family, brasses and doomsdzy.
Once upon a time there was some writing on the wall we all ignored, Until the time when there was war and feasts of famine at our door.
This stripped down little piece has some of the most beautiful, sad, wistful vocals I've heard and it almost brings me to tears.
