This talented prog rock outfit from Canada is back with another creative release - Presents of Mind. The artwork is brilliant, featuring a brain flying across desert sands with a bow tied around it. The back cover shows a beat up DPS shipment with "organ donor" stickers all over it, then the back of the CD booklet shows a view of the contents from the top - a large brain. The music inside is fairly similar to the melodic moments of Dream Theater, thanks in part to the fine vocals of Paul Rarick. The lyrics are very thoughtful and thought-provoking. Not an evangelistic band, per se, these guys get into some interesting subjects, like justice and truth ("Reasonable Doubt"). For ordering info on either disc or his compilation video - Love Enough, write: Magna Carta, 208 East 51st St #1820, New York NY 10022
