1.	Meridian, Part One: Black Crows 04:24	lyrics	buy track
I'm walking through the streets while it's raining Look down as the skies are turning grey I feel the madness in the atmosphere This train of thought has lost its trail Black crows, found me Within the debris of this mind I tried not to fall again… A trembling soul, A baleful dance alone beside The fading lights and rising tide I feel their crimson gaze, staring at me Black feathers shining through this mournful night Claws of sorrow crush my heart again When I remember back your smile Black crows, tear me Swallow the fragments of this dream Bury my memories in the dust Hope's fading fast I'll let this madness be my guide I've lost my sanity… at last

3.	Meridian, Part Three: Awake Again 07:14	lyrics	buy track
A faint light bites me through the windowpane A warming feel, awake again The crows keep starving as I left behind The thoughts of sorrow stuck on my mind Some say that time helps healing old scars I'd say it can teach you to wear them I've burned all the bridges I had to burn Regret is a burden so worthless Your smile, forgotten swing on my memoir So far away, in black and white A photograph to keep but not to trust The train has spread its wings, and I feel right I'd say the trails are there, you have to ask If you're who can't let yourself see them A bunch of self lies can't break through the walls Give up is an option so worthless
4.	Meridian, Part Four: Coda 02:06	lyrics	buy track
Life's a twisted road, capricious wheel with dusks and dawns Swaying side to side but never back, you must go on

about

Meridian is a conceptual suite divided into four acts in which instrumental episodes are interspersed.

Throughout the piece we see the evolution of feelings such as later-and acceptance-loss, anger or uncertainty, leading to an environment of alienation and abandonment. The use of skillfully interwoven to illustrate this experience musical and lyrical resources shape a sound journey that culminates with a vital learning, with the aim that the listener will do their part too.

There is a lot of each of the band members in this first project. The influences of this young band is based, on one hand, groups like Riverside or the earlier Dream Theater, taking on the other side the old and refined style of Camel or Spock's Beard, to name a few iconic examples. Drawing from these and many other sources, but providing a unique and personal sensitivity, Regna arises; whose sound demonstrates a genuine and forceful style, nostalgic dyes, but mostly different.

A very pleasant album. Like other comments said, if you like the first Camel album (Moonmadness for exemple), you have to listen at this one. calm, relaxing are the first words that come to me You can listen from the start to the end: it’s like a journey…. in the space! yodablanc

The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis. Carsten Pieper

This record feels like an alternate universe where Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee were members of Yes. The overall sound palette is rich and full of retro synths, but the guitars are usually angular. The bass has a satisfying, snapping bite to it more akin to Geddy’s tone than Chris Squire’s usual overdrive.
