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…

The Neal Morse Band's triumphant double-album, The Similitude of a Dream, is the most acclaimed release that Morse has helmed to date.

More than just paralyzing tone, though, he also had a touch nobody could beat.

These elements and more helped to make West one of the most significant, influential and irreplaceable guitarists of the rock era. Originally, the album was intended to be a retrospective celebration of West's music on which the guitarist himself would perform some of his best-loved cuts with notable guests, along with a collection of new tracks…
