You must buy this!.......2003-07-25

This is an amazing album.
It is full of sadness, but if you listen closely, it will help you find beauty in pain, and light in the darkness. It is a prog album, but it is also a trip, and one worth taking...

Surprise ! ! ! . . . Boston ?.......2002-11-04

Very well performed. Sounds like a German Pink Floyd, but all the performers are from a different style that lets you hear the same song several times over and by listening to a particular performer you find more and more..... loud & free.
Inventive and Fluid, also some exotic strangeness....
Sometimes it doesn't even sound like English.
Worth your time if it's progressive or adventurous Musak, what your a searching for. Check out Porcupine Tree!

Like the phoenix that rose from the ashes........2001-10-20

Snapshots From Limbo is the CD that was created from the band that was once Radio Silence. Like the phoenix that rose from the ashes, Sonus Umbra avails us with a CD of many sounds and textures. It can be dark at times, but overall we think it is an album of hope not despair. Almost friendly at times, with the great sounding acoustic guitars passages, the album is the baby of Luis Nasser.Like a child at birth, we think this is a very personal and heartfelt creation. One hopefully Luis can now put those times behind him. Pardon us for getting personal with the review, but we felt strongly about what we took from the CD. With that said, this is a well written album. It has lots of changes and twist, and it turns you to listen to the CD as a whole composition from beginning to end. It is similar to Pink Floyd, The Wall, and others. It is a story from start to finish. You will not be disappointed. We could tell the listener that this group sounds like this band or that band. Sonus Umbra is quite different, you really can't label this music and its not something you hear as everyday music. However it is progressive music never the less. The music is complex and they offer today's prog world a fresh new sound, this creates a mood of not knowing what to expect next. The quality of the recording and the production work are top notch. Sonus Umbra is a must have CD.

If your from the Old, or the New School of Progressive Music, this is a must for your CD collection! From the first to the last track, Sonus Umbra rocks with broody intensity! From the spooky ballads to harder edge progressive tracks, this CD & group are hard to put a label on. The vocals are haunting, the guitars are fast & clear, keyboards are tripping, lyrics are so spooky and deep, bass funky but subtle, great acoustic guitar work, percussion crisp, top it off with great cd design and production.......I LOVE IT!!!!! This has a new sound, all its own, but somehow manages to become something familler and comfortble, like an old sweatshirt. Try it on for size, it will fit fine!
