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.

A piece which defined the album for us in a way. It has a strong driving verse and chorus, is in an odd meter (5/4 in this case), and has a pretty far out instrumental section starting out almost Zappa-esque and morphing into a classic Yes type guitar solo.

The fusiony piece on the album with a strong dose of '70s TV theme sensibilities.

A Genesis like moment, very pastoral with quiet acoustic guitars (and the obligatory melotron).
