Momentum is an album that is quite simply, another excellent addition to Neal Morse’s back catalog of music, it continues his unique brand of pop/hard rock influenced progressive rock, especially with his use of 80’s-style synth and Hammond organ sounds…
Momentum. Just one word is enough to explain the philosophy of this trio coming from Norway. A musical manifestation of the phenomenon. In the beginning it is sparse, gradually building until it overflows with force, eventually descending into nothing. It’s spontaneous, intuitive, crude, raw and as potent and powerful as it is fleeting and ephemeral. Each time Jørgen Mathisen, Christian Meaas Svendsen and Andreas Wildhagen play together is different from the previous one and the other following, changing with the circumstances, the states of mind at the time and the ambient of the performance.
