The seven songs on this fabulous collection are time-stopping tragedies that make strong connections with the history their audience have grown up with, or will now want to learn.

Progress Reform then is pretty much a collection of the iLiKETRAiNS story so far. Of the seven songs on the album, four have already seen the light of day in one form or another, and all form an essential part - both sonically and visually - of their extraordinary live show.

Gloriously odd, fiercely intelligent, there's absolutely no doubt these TRAiNS are on the right TRACK.

iLiKETRAiNS' mini album 'Progress Reform' offers everything you'd expect from the start, with the majestic vocal and a mounting resurgence which swells forth with every passing beat of 'TERRA NOVA', and continues throughout.

Monstrous assortments of riffs and strings strike out from every pour and vocalist Dave Martin's voice absolutely cascades and envelopes you in a sheer nightmare of unimaginable torment.

Foreboding and unsettling as they are, Progress Reform’s seven tracks have a glacial beauty that would be well suited to that polar expedition, with post-rock noise crescendos that could cause an avalanche.

It might take a few listens to embed the songs in your heart but that's always been the sign of a band who can last for more than 3 minutes.
