Fans are already familiar with his amazing mallet percussion and acoustic piano work, and there's plenty of that here. But "En Route" is also a great keyboard album, with Macan turning in stunning multi-layered performances on Hammond organ, ARP string ensemble, Micromoog, Fender Rhodes electric piano, digital pipe organ, and electronic harpsichord--not to mention the "oddball" instruments (recorders, 10-string lyre) that are a mandatory part of any Hermetic Science album. On "En Route" Macan is joined by multi-instrumentalist Jason Hoopes (bass, guitar, sitar, piano), an exciting young prog composer, and Joe Nagy, a formidable drummer who rejoins the band after a four-year absence. The title track, "En Route," a seven-movement, 45-minute suite, represents the band's greatest achievement--surpassing even the monumental "Prophesies" suite of their second album--and is likely to rank as one of the classic prog compositions of its era.
