PURE REASON REVOLUTION
The Dark Third INSIDEOUT
Timely reissue for modern prog classic.
Since its release in 2006, Pure Reason Revolution’s debut The Dark Third has been recognised as a modern prog classic. With Floyd-like psychedelic flourishes, drums that echoed Led Zeppelin’s John Bonham and the harmonised lead vocals of Chloë Alper and Jon Courtney, there was something a little more old-school to PRR’s sound. On later releases, their synth and electronic influences would drive the band in a more visceral, industrial direction. The lushness of The Dark Third however, was more Canterbury than kosmiche.
