It's a familiar space-prog universe populated by pulsing minor-key drones, alternately shimmering and sinewy guitars, Mellotrons and languid vocals beamed from some far off place, floating through the sonic ether in uncanny approximation of a bygone era, in search of a midnight laser show. But from their flare for grandiose dynamics to an instinct for the epic, the Future Kings of England also get just about every period detail right.The Future Kings of England stand in the dim, unfurnished room. Occasionally one of them will blink and look awkwardly at his hands. Their sound is often mistaken for that of a ghost, falling over or down the stairs. All 3 Kings have a dislike for most things.Visit them at "MySpace":http://www.myspace.com/thefuturekingsofengland
