More information: For the first time since the 'Fire In Harmony' compilation album, the band went into a pro studio, Yellow Arch in Sheffield, and enlisted the help of an outside producer/engineer, Colin Elliott, resulting in the best sounding Haze album yet, with the band free to concentrate on playing the music.
"This collection of songs covers a lot of ground. From the electro/rock/latin/prog of Flight Behaviour through the aggressive punkish snarl of Not Alone, the gentle balladeering of The Water's Rising, the folk/metal/prog/ambient insanity of The Outlandish Knight, the soothing acoustic calm of Belong, the sleazy blues of Drinking With The Devil, the multi-layered vocals, synths and guitars of Who Goes There?, the brooding prog of Parasite to the desperate reflective beauty of Redemption, there is a lot to enjoy here."
