Visual Cliff plays elegant, complex, melodic all-instrumental progressive fusion. Usually. But with "Freedom Within" the band has done almost a complete U-turn. This is hard-rock, it has few progressive passages, and in a first for the band, there are vocals.
The only elements this record has in common with the band's 2 previous CDs and its recent EP are the high standard of musicianship and the band's unabashed Christian position. This isn't overtly religious music in the style of a Neal Morse, a Revelation Project or an Ajalon. But the spiritual overtones permeate every aspects of the music, giving it a positive, strong, major-key tone that is upbeat and inspirational - and in that sense they could be compared with Farpoint or the new singer's home band, Orphan Project.
