Jimmy Brown of Deliverance/Fearful Symmetry returns with a new Jupiter 6 album. The CD liner may only list five songs, but this is a full length album. The opening track is an epic song that almost reaches the 20 minute mark. Of course, it is broken down into several sections, so it never really gets boring. This time around, Jupiter 6’s mixture of heavy alternative is more influenced by Pink Floyd than David Bowie, but it still works well. Moveable Walls is more melodic than Back From Mars – nothing really seems to hit the same fist pumping groove that the first album had in places. This is more along the lines of thinking man/progressive metal than industrial metal. If you missed out the pre-order, you might have also missed the chance to get the bonus disc of unreleased material. Better hurry if you want to grab that one. Brown continues to display his musical flexibility.
