***EP Reviews***

Afternoon all,

Some people have been kind enough to review our new EP. Here’s what they have to say!

Our good friend ‘Mr Stu’ of http://mrstu616.blogspot.com says;

“These are the first recordings since Tim joined late last year and show a clear forward progression for the Enfield based rock group who are now deservedly gaining major press attention. Many great bands start life with a label that does not really represent their body of work, think of bands like U2, Simple Minds, The Jam who were essentially classed as Punk/New Wave, this is true of FGH who gained a "Progressive" tag, yet drew comparisons to a variety of artists as diverse as Marillion, David Bowie and Roxy Music. What the band have done even at this relatively early stage in their, what will become a long, career is create a unique brand of commercially viable rock music that transcends genres from Extreme metal to stadium rock and intelligent pop music.

The dual attack of haunting vocal and guitar open up this first track 'Spectres at the Feast' before the song literallly explodes into a crescendo of keyboards and drums mixed with absolute perfection. A truly epic song that blends aggression with melody with defining keyboards making for an instant and very catchy hit.

The live favourite 'It Died A Quiet Death' is next, a mid tempo rock number with a great guitar riff punctuating the quality throughout. Its anthemic qualities are simply awaiting the massive audience cheering and singing along that a main stage support at Glastonbury has been crying out for.

The slow ballad quality to one of the earliest songs ever written by Michael Alp,
'Invited In By' showcases Adam's awesome and mature vocal delivery, but also the early Progressive influences of Michael. The various timing changes, use of synth and the superb phased guitars create a song that has truly epic qualities and with a drum fade out that just leaves you wanting more.

All in all a single of such professional standards i can but hang my head with pure
disbelief that this band are not signed and arranging a major European tour.
But good things comes to those who wait and in years to come From Great Height will be a household name. STU - Rating 10/10”

We have also had a facebook ‘fan’ review by ‘Chelle’ so a BIG thank you to her for taking the time!

“Listening to From Great Height's new E.P. invoked memories from my formative teenage years in the 80's when bands such as Simple Minds,Big Country,Marillion I'd also include Ultravox (Vienna) were producing that blend of synthesized popular music with a rock edge to it . Now whether it's because the bands I've just mentioned were Scottish/Irish which influenced their music or whether it is purely due to the beautiful haunting melodies of 'Spectres at the Feast' and 'Invited In By' I'm not quite sure..... but those tracks seem to have a Celtic feel to them .

Vocalist Adam has an amazing quality to his voice and has a good range ,it's distinctive although not dissimilar to Peter Gabriel. Adam's skills on the keyboard shine through too and add the classic 80's synth vibe. EXCELLENT !!

Mikey's guitar solo's are faultless especially on the Invited In By track ...WOW !!
He shows versatility too with the more thrashier sound on 'It Died a Quiet Death'

Tim's drumming throughout all three tracks is consistent and notably solid on 'It Died a Quiet Death' AWESOME !!!!

Paul's bass playing is strong throughout and adds depth to the sound .

All three tracks are catchy,excellently produced /mixed and are of professional quality . My personal fave definitely has to be ' Invited in By ' closely followed by 'Spectres at the Feast' and 'It Died a Quiet Death', which might I add definitely didn't die quietly at all ....it actually went out screaming cause it ROCKS !!!!!!!!
Will finish by saying that these guys don't need to 'bite any bullets' when it comes to their music ,it is excellent and deserves to be played,heard and enjoyed !!!!
10/10 “

A BIG thank you to all those who have taken time to listen to our EP so far and we really hope you are enjoying it as much as we enjoyed making it. We are over the moon that so far it seems to have been greeted with positive vibes.

See you all soon!
