NewEARS Album Of The Month
" ‘Altitude’ may well be Lifesigns’ finest release yet. John Young has outdone himself with these compositions, the band- members have furnished divine performances that glide like gossamer wings, and Rispin has delivered a production that is the stuff of miracles. Crowd-funded, you say? This album sounds more like the most expensive production of the year.
Lifesigns - Altitude Will you feel that glowing warmth in your stomach? Butterflies in your gut? Endorphins in your blood? You can absolutely count on it. I do not know whether great composers have angels behind them, but I certainly am prepared to believe it after listening to ‘Altitude’. This is heavenly Prog of the highest order. Feel The Glow." PN-TPR ![]() Essential Track: "Title track ‘Altitude’ is a glorious 15-minute journey into the ether. Describing with emotion the sorrow, pain and perils of wartime aviation, the track soars like a proverbial winged spirit. A complex and enticing arrangement, the track has space, light, air and plane-loads of class. A floating intro glides into a hovering, up-tempo groove built around Poole’s bass. Then the song visits every cloud in the sky. There is a cello interlude, a huge chorus, massive instrumentals and even a choral passage. The song rises and dives, soars and dips, and it never loses its sense of anticipation. After the choral section (and yes, it is a choir), one of the finest moments of the year comes in the refrain ‘And I could hear you in another world…’ At around the 9-minute mark, this refrain releases a torrent of gratification, and there it is – The Glow. It arrives in a huge, flooding cascade of warmth that leads effortlessly into a wonderful Bainbridge solo. This moment alone is worth the full price of admission – you are in the company of angels. A wonderful string outro ends the song in the gentlest possible way, and the listener can almost feel the vanishing of the aviator into the ether. A masterpiece."
