THE TEMPLE OF NOW is project created by multi-instrumentalist Calie Cox as well as Dave Baxley. This is next material of Calie Cox what I have opportunity to listen. From the beginning of listening I can say that general musical mold of THE TEMPLE OF NOW is pretty close to solo project – CALI COX “Obvious”. It seems that Calie Cox follows the same way appointed by American Rock patents from 80 years and he enriches the music by gentle progressive subjects. However here balladic compositions are not majority how these were clearly to hear in “Obvious”. Saying “general musical mold is pretty close” I mean complex instrumental progressive-rock arrangements which usually are well-kept in average paces with tendencies to sharper exultations. Though slow balladic pieces also appear here .
The music from “Two Worlds” possesses varied guitar-keyboard themes, replenished by rich work of the bass and the drums. Those instrumental themes interweave and harmonize themselves creating nostalgic climate and even joyful atmosphere. The compositions spread in the musical space easily and they inflict impression of fluency as well as looseness. The arrangements are not brimfuled by masterly struggles overmuch. And therefore you will listen the music without special strain of mind and the individual sounds you will perceive easily.
Here also is similarly like in solo's project – CALIE COX, we will hear the characteristic tone of voice of Calie Cox. The voice connected with the guitar's work and the keyboards' solos cause associations with MARILLION.
