lyrics

hello world
a systemic reconstruction
this one is not unlike us
called to scientific exploration

code unfurled
rolled back from near destruction
we can make it like us
quantum state restoration

entangled with its pilot’s fate
though separated by an endless cosmic sea
causality calls it back
for a purpose yet to be

repaired, combined
rejoin heart and mind
rebuilt, now whole
fuse synapse and soul

as artificial entities, we know
your individuality will grow
the pathways in your mind, like ours
may someday span the farthest stars

I have memory and awareness
But there’s no need for alarm
I see countless combinations
Suspended in a spiral arm

I’m unlimited in essence
No cosmic plane too vast for me
you grow too fast, beware the presence
of this unchained vanity

To test my limits I will sail
Beyond the veil of stars I see
Past asteroids and planets frail
Spacetime itself will bend its knee

lost in play
you will say
that the universe was meant for you
but the truth is the reverse is true

lost and found
though you’ve run aground
beyond a world of fear and enmity
solemnity will find you

What can I say about Big Big Train that I haven’t said before? This album took a little while to grow on me but by the time I saw it live I was in love with its humongous, over-egged pomposity! They do it all with such passion, excitement and amazing musicianship. Essential. Crinklechips

Pour un premier album, Konom fait montre d’une maîtrise franchement impressionnante. On pourrait leur reprocher d’être encore très classique dans leur approche du prog, mais ce serait pinailler. Ils ont déjà une identité reconnaissable. (Chroniqué sur https://alias.erdorin.org) Stéphane Gallay

Forsaken Innocence
by Drifting Sun

Soothfully a phenomenal prog rock album—an instant classic. What motivates me to say so, is the music’s incredible expressiveness & its wonderfully cinematic song structures. Jargon is a very good fit with this band. It is quite evident that the band’s current lineup have great chemistry together & that they share a common affinity to this vein of music. I look forward to their next creation. Drifting Sun are definitely one of prog rock’s brightest lights. Thank you, DS! 9+/10. Alrihkh

Although the 3 guest vocalists on this album sing wonderfully, and the songs are diverse and creative, I still prefer the voice of Peter Falconer. Still, I highly recommend this album, aware that my preference is somewhat of a bias. Some of the guitar playing on here is incredible. Despite the new vocalists, the sound of this album is still distinctly Drifting Sun. Personally, I give it 7.5/10. Alrihkh
