Melody and Menace review moved to UMR
The other 2 titles are definitely geared more towards 80s styled commercial rock, though each have their moments.
Priority: 2 (for Melody and Menace)
I have only heard "within" but I think it's a great album in need of reissue. These guys are different and unique without trying to be. Maybe a mirror image of classic Crimson - instead of whole albums of "Pictures of a City", "The Devil's Triangle", "Cirkus" and "Battle of Glass Tears" interspersed with the occasional "Cadence and Cascade" and "Lady of the Dancing Water", Terraced Garden's "Within" album is heavy on melodic songs (with more teeth than CAC or LOTDW)but still featuring the occasional Crimson-like raveup.
