Paper Winged Dreams was the only studio album by this US prog rock band. Brimstone plays a quite melodic and keyboard driven form of progressive rock with some minor psychedelic elements here and there. The A-side of the album includes four shorter tracks whereas the B-side is filled with the massive almost 19 minutes long "Suite in Five Movements". The B-side is the standout moment here although the shorter songs are interesting as well. Nothing outstanding though.
Recommended for the fans of symphonic and melodic prog. I'm not a fan of this album but it's a decent effort. The original private pressing is quite rare and the album hasn't been officially reissued on vinyl yet which is kinda odd. (cooperbolan)
