Press Reviews "An interesting new progressive band from Atlanta that coalesced from the unlikely world of theater. A bit of that theatricality shines through as each of the group's six members sings, four of them trading off on lead vocals. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution called them "...a blend of 70's progressive rock and Jesus Christ Superstar...:" which isn't too far from hitting the nail on the head. Lyrically (Karma Lingo) takes an upbeat, forthright path in reflecting upon life' travails...There's an undercurrent of Kansas-insprired arranging here, particularly evident on tracks such as the all-instrumental "Parade" and the swingin' "Ain't Nothin" But A Thing." Both feature breakneck runs matching violin with keyboards, drums, and guitar."- Progression, Fall/Winter 1999-2000" (Karma Lingo) is one act that injects a sense of inventiveness ...This unique rock presentation is unlike anything I've heard vocally..." - Progression, Summer/Fall 1998"...Certainly fans of Yes and ELP and Rush and Genesis will find something here..." - Progressive Report, Summer 1997
