From Veer, March 1992

CD Review by Winsome Lou Some 
 
For those of you out there who enjoy the rhythmic stylings of the Mission and 
the airy sound of early U2, Course of Empire are for you. They manage to blend 
driving guitar melodies with a subtle eastern flavor, and top it off with smooth, 
well controlled vocals. They seem to subliminally expose you to the idea of 
peace and inner-healing without ramming daisies down your throat and dancing 
around you in a hippy-fied way. Listen to the fast grinding instrumental sounds 
or "Dawn Of The Great Eastern Sun" (which is just as overwhelming). Each track 
will lead you down new paths of wonder and musical bliss. This is a release that 
anyone, be they Blackhead, Metalhead, or Deadhead, could enjoy. Give it a spin.
