HERMETIC SCIENCE—EN ROUTE
The journey continues . . .
The combination
of progressive, jazz, classical, and sixties music results in a varied, singular

should appeal strongly to fans of keyboard-oriented classic progressive rock.
David Ashcraft, EXPOSE (
If you like ELP, this will calm
your yearnings in abundance. Rafa Dorado, MARGEN (
An absolutely
inspired album, the best by the group to this point. Dominique Genin,
PROG-RESISTE (
As a composer and performer Ed
Macan is excellent, and I’m very surprised that with music of this standard
and quality that I haven’t heard of them before. James Turner, WONDROUS

Complex music,
very elaborate . . . that shows the spirit of a non-conformist fighter.
Eduardo Aragon, PROG-VISIONS (
En Route is definitely
Hermetic Science’s best album. Vitaly Menshikov, PROGRESSOR (
