Album of the Day

Deus ex Machina, by Deus ex Machina (1993): When I first started re-exploring prog in college, one of the first really "out there" bands I heard of was Deux ex Machina. Modern hard driving fusion-inflected prog with slightly over the top vocals and lyrics in Latin - what's not to love! Several Deus discs later, this remains my favorite, as the songwriting seems stronger than on their other albums. Maybe that's just because it was the first one I heard and has a special place in my heart. Or maybe not.
