Evoking Curiously a progressive stuff because almost STEVE HOGARTH vocals , we could consider the musical stuff of VALINORS TREE as children of the MARILLION from the last Generation if the whole wasn't more influenced by the British POP as RADIOHEAD … Packaged in beautifull harmonies , AND THEN THERE IS SILENCE seems to be a nostalgic album with a more orientated POP-Rock whole-songs & album , with sometime a Dark touch … Not far from the step of OK COMPUTER , MARILLION.COM , BRAVE or RADIATION in spirit … Well produced , this RECORD HEAVEN band has a good melodic potential and especially a very good Singer ( almost a STEVE HOGARTH Duplication !!! ) …

However , these progressive influences are not alone , even the atmospheres of "BRAVE " haunting the album are very present and pleasant . VALINORS TREE is a good band playing ROCK with some great Prog influences ….It'is not here the definition for the good POP Music ??? Isnt'it ! !! Warmly Conseilled …

You could take it !!!
