Julian's Treatment absorbs all the juiciness, art heaviness, kind craziness and inspirational pleasantness out of the late 60s/early 70s period, to create an album that's stunning as a complex and eurhythmic progressive rock fundamental spice, as a psychedelic (the archaic, bluesy, kaleidoscopic or hard-taunting kinds.
A Time Before This is full-bounded and complicated, with its styles and shapes, but pulls in the end a victorious mount. The most living ideas are that Julians Treatment plays psychedelic with spacy airs, without fragility and never with absurd spots, plus that it plays an untypical kind of hard prog rock, keen on caramelizing its strong roots rather than jamming with thirst. Despite these already good reflection, there is a crave for many other flavors, the most kicking one being symphonic - in fact, the first "chapter" can be called psych, but the next ones fade in favor of art rock or symphonic fantasy. A main thought will also become in that of A Time Before This is a concept of mystic, fantastic themes, still music turns out greater. Reading that the band is using sci-fi ideas, the character like "Adia", the "Oracles" or "the Mule" are good for a story-tale or for a mythical expression. Lastly, the musicians of Julian's Treatment are ones you couldn't write enough about - very talented. Savarin seems the prog genius, but for sure Cathy Pruden is a vocalist we truly love.
With all this, A Time Before This sounds of an impeccable creativity. And, given the influences, they're one step close to having originality as well. Earth & Fire, Sandrose or Rare Bird are good/fit analogies. All the twelve chapters are generous and have craft, they flow intensely, they charm you possessively. It can be a fascinating world, musically adapted, if you like your prog deeper, more reaming, and close to breathless
