The second full-length CD release by The Rebel Wheel, is dark, atmospheric and dense; a complex slice of modern progressive rock that never sacrifices melody while sustaining unrelenting waves of mounting tension and euphoric release. Angular twists and riffs morph into ambient soundscapes with soft, emotional vocals seamlessly binding the diverse elements together. Owing as much to modern influences as progressive legends of the past, The Rebel Wheel’s sound on Diagramma is unique and urgent, blending cutting-edge production techniques with diverse musicality and technical precision, often with a touch of fusion.
The official 10T Records release of Diagramma contains a total of seven tracks, totaling over an hour of music, with the largest piece (the 21 minute epic "Diagramma Suite”) in the middle, acting as the fulcrum. Diagramma features tracks that alternate between hard-edged vocal tunes, and instrumentals that range from the quiet pastoral 12-string of "Three Valley Gap,” to the hard-edged fusion of "Tempra.” The CD comes in a deluxe digipak.
