the answer is yes

I saw them at the lovely Orion Stusios (with Sonus Umbra) last night. I also bought their CD. I was sober and still diggin it.

This is an excellent band. The bookend songs on the CD are 10+minutes and the remainder are of shorter duration. All of tunes work, and are very unique.

Ryan Parmenter (Matthew of Discipline's cousin) is as good as a frontman as you can get. He has not only a lot of styling to his voice but also is a very good keyboardist. The lyrics also really make you think.

The CD is alternately fun and moody. The quieter moments are Gabrielesque, and the bridges and instrumental passages are dynamically awesome (too bad the clips can't demonstrate that). It is a real treat, and I feel some of the freshest music to come along in quite some time. You can pick out elements of many influences, but I don't want to pigeon-hole it by settling on one. There's also a little description at the front of this thread, too.

I can't think of anyone I know from the Moon that would not like this CD.

This would be a great addition to the library.
