French language, en français
excerpt
: “Mais tout compte fait, ce que l'on préfère dans cet album, ce sont les morceaux chantés,
car la voix de Tarnecky est d'une particularité incroyable. Fans de progressif ? Alors sautez sur cet
opus sans hésiter !”
“’The least we can say about this first album is that it will attract many.”
”Fans of progressive? ...jump on this album without hesitation!”

May 21, 2009 - Carlos Vaz - Progressive Rock & Metal
English language
selected ALBUM OF THE MONTH (MAY 2009)
excerpts:
“they know how to create an astonishing, amazing and vibrant progressive rock music.
Their music sounds very impressive, full of grandiose passages, the instrumentation displays a deep
Progressive Rock feeling, combining Symphonic elements, with hints of Hard Rock and Prog Metal,
constantly it’s possible [to] hear a variety of sounds, with different musical arrangements, using
atmospheric synths and intense guitar solos...”
“... the main highlight of the band is the impressive vocal from Henry Tarnecky that sound like [a]
main instrument, defining the real course of the music...”

May 10, 2009 - Geschrieben von Thorsten Dieterle - FFM Rock
Auszug:
“Wer an die 70 Minuten Hörkonzentration aufbringen kann, hat aber sicherlich nicht seine
Zeit verschwendet.”
May 2009 - Muzik Zirkus Magazine - Stephan Schelle
Auszug:
Die weiteren Stücke enthalten die gleichen Zutaten wie schon der Opener. Die Musik ist mit
Versatzstücken aus Progressive-, Symphonic- und Melodic-Rock sowie zappaeskem Flair gespickt.
Retro mäßige Sounds sowie Anleihen an alle möglichen Progbands finden sich verstreut auf diesem
Album. Mal hat man das Gefühl eine Passage von Yes, dann wieder Jethro Tull, King Crimson oder
Frank Zappa zu hören, um nur einige Beispiele zu nennen. Da wird so mancher seine Band wieder
finden. Die drei schaffen es aber, dass ihre Musik dabei nicht zu einem Plagiat verkommt.
„The Way“ ist ein Album das man zunächst einmal für sich erschließen muss und das nicht sofort in
den Gehörgängen Einzug findet. Mit jedem Durchgang hört man dann aber weitere Nuancen in den
Stücken, die einem vorher nicht aufgefallen sind. Was zunächst wie ein etwas chaotisches Werk
anmutete, entwickelt sich in den folgenden Durchgängen doch zu einem äußerst spannenden und
filigranen Werk.

“TCP "Temporal Chaos" es un trío de músicos americanos, con una apuesta musical que suena y
mucho a PHIDEAUX, es decir a grupos como Gentle Giant, Genesis, ACT, Peter Gabriel y King
Crimson añadiendo a esto echo la particular voz de Henry Tarnecky que me recuerda y mucho a
David Bowie.”
TCP "Temporal Chaos" is a trio of American musicians, a bet that sounds musical and much like
PHIDEAUX, ie groups like Gentle Giant, Genesis, ACT, Peter Gabriel and King Crimson adding to this
particular echo the voice of Henry Tarnecky, which reminds me much of David Bowie”

July 2009 - Flash Magazine - Max Salari
“...Ancora suono duro e cadenzato in “He’s Like You”, un piacevole intermezzo Dark. “I’m Me” ricorda
la musica dei norvegesi Fruitcake, mentre “Liberate Me” ritmata ed ottimamente arrangiata, segue le
gesta dei Gentle Giant, tanto per rimanere in tema anni ’70. Bello l’intermezzo di chitarra. Lascio per
ultima la stupenda “Mankind” con un piano eccellente che entra dentro e lascia partire la nostra
fantasia.”

Finnish language
excerpt:
“Together with a variety of guests, the trio have crafted themselves [a] unique sound
exploring the depths of art and progressive rock (bringing in mind early David Bowie, Genesis, King
Crimson, and Phideaux among others). The course of the album is largely set to meaningful lyrics
and creative songwriting that culminates in excellent hook lines..”

extrait:
“Si The Light de Spock’s Beard (1995) ne laissait que vaguement présager de l’incroyable
carrière qui suivra, The Way, par sa force et sa cohérence internes, embrasse de folles espérances
.”
excerpt:
“If
The Light
by
Spock's Beard
(1995) only vaguely predicted the incredible career which
followed,
The Way
, by its force and its coherence, embraces these incredible hopes.”

uittrekselpagina:
“...zo opgeruimd en helder klinkt ook "The Way". De muziek van TCP heeft een
onbezorgd, haast zonnig karakter. Desondanks klinkt het nergens zoet, overdreven bombastisch of
kitscherig. Naast de geijkte invloeden van Genesis, Spock's Beard en Kansas, zou ik daaraan graag
zelf Kayak als invloedsbron willen toevoegen.”
excerpt:
“The sound of ‘The Way’ is bright and organized. The music of TCP has a carefree, almost
sunny vibe, nevertheless, never too sweet, bombastic, or cliche! Besides obvious influences as
Genesis, Spock's Beard and Kansas, I definitely would add Kayak as an influence source.”
Sep 20, 2009 - Menno Von Brucken Fock - Boundaries Unlimited - (Dutch Progrock Pages)

excerpt:
“In conclusion I can only say this album combines the best characteristics of the legends in
prog music with astonishing original compositions and superb craftsmanship from all musicians
involved. A really nice offering and I would like to invite anyone to check this album out more than
once!

utdrag:
“...er det et sound hvor nytt og gammelt forenes ypperlig, idet den klassiske proggen får en
god dose injeksjon av mer moderne musikalsk tankegods. Vokalisten Henry Tarnecky har en virkelig
god stemme som virker å kunne tilpasse seg de mest skiftende musikalske landskapene
tilsynelatende totalt uanstrengt, og med enorm selvsikkerhet. Tarnecky har visse likheter med Peter
Gabriel, og med en slik bredde i stemmen som han kan oppvise gir det rom for bandet til å bevege
seg nesten hvor de måtte ønske.”
excerpt:
“...it is a sound where the new and old are greatly united, as this classic prog gets a good
injection of more modern musical ideas. Vocalist Henry Tarnecky has a really good voice that seems
to be able to adapt to the changing musical landscapes that seems totally effortless, and with
enormous confidence. Tarnecky have certain similarities with Peter Gabriel, and with such a breadth
of voice that he can boast of providing the space for the band to move nearly wherever they want.”

Apr. 16, 2009 - Pete Pardo - Sea of Tranquility
excerpt:
“This is thoroughly enjoyable stuff here, TCP paying homage to their heroes from the 70's
yet creating a CD that can be listened to and enjoyed for its modern sensibilities. Mellotron lovers dig
in deep, as there's plenty of sumptuous sounds to be heard here, alongside a plethora of other
keyboard tapestries, stellar guitar work, and tight grooves. The Way is, quite simply, way cool.”
Apr. 26, 2009 - ProgCat - Proggnosis Review
excerpt:
“All in all an Excellent Debut Album that should be checked out. These guys have a bright
future!”
May 06, 2009 - Dean Pedley - Sea of Tranquility
excerpt:
“this really comes highly recommended with some clever and creative arrangements that
make this a hugely entertaining listen and TCP have made an excellent start to their recording
career”.
May 06, 2009 - Jon Neudorf - Sea of Tranquility
excerpt
: “Their style pays homage to 70s greats like Genesis, but they are not copycats by any
means. They incorporate modern sounds in their old style approach that sounds absolutely fantastic
to these ears.”
Jun 07, 2009 - Tommy Hash - Ytsejam
excerpt:
“...this band is incomparable to many other bands – inundated with jangly guitars,
metaphors of six string crunch, staccatos, odd time signatures, key changes, flourishing synths,
‘Trons, multi-faceted production, and active tune variances, TCP proves to be an inventive band.”
Aug 03, 2009 - Michael Popke - Progression Magazine
excerpt:
“...primary Genesis comparisons come in the form of Henry Tarnecky's Peter Gabriel
-inspired vocals, Blake Tobias' dancing keys ...Shallow thinkers need not bother. "
Oct 17, 2009 - Ron Fuchs - Prognaut
excerpt:
“Vocally, Tarrnecky is one of the more unique in the genre, in which he reminds you of
many singers yet sounding nothing like them. The rest of the band provides an amazing musical
canvas to back him up.
In my opinion they combine all of the best characteristics that encompasses the progressive rock
genre. The band stays clear of useless noodling which gives each song a welcome listen. This is one
of the better debuts of 2009...”
