    “For a Moment” by Escher’s Enigma | Music Existence 2/23/2015 Home Album Reviews “For a Moment” by Escher’s Enigma Album Reviews February 23, 2015 Mindy McCall http://musicexistence.com/blog/2015/02/23/for-a-moment-by-eschers-enigma/ 1 / 8 “For a Moment” by Escher’s Enigma | Music Existence 2/23/2015 “For a Moment” by Escher’s Enigma 2 Facebook Twitter SHARES “For a Moment” by Escher’s Enigma REVERBNATION: http://www.reverbnation.com/eschersenigma The extraordinary quality of “For a Moment” by Escher’s Enigma is due to the fact that both musicians have significant recording experience. This highly collaborative project saw both of them participating in the creative process of eight original songs, as well as interpretations of two popular tunes by well- known artists. Brian handled the guitars, vocals, keyboards, and midi programming, while Russ played the bass guitar. Brian mixed and mastered the album. This is the full length thematic follow up to their critically acclaimed debut EP “For a Moment,” it explores the relationship between self and world, covering a diverse range of genres from singer/songwriter to adult contemporary, modern pop, blues, and indie rock. The CD starts off with the soothing but complex sound of Should Have Known, with hooks and melodies galore, some excellent guitar playing and a huge flying chorus that tops it off. This is somehow electrifying because of what the vocals do for the acoustic playing. As an opener it does have its mellower side but again that is made up for in the big chorus.
