“ The Intangibles are at their best when they tread somewhere between furrowed prog-rock intensity and accessible pop songcraft, and I Woke Up in the Future is a near-perfect blend of both. Many music fans argue about the proper length for an album, but they’ll all have to forgive The Intangibles for their 62-minute opus. To their credit, they manage to create an instrumentally arresting experience without sacrificing structure, songwriting, and singability, and they incorporate the classic sounds they love without any blatant artistic rip-offs. Even more importantly, the lyrical content matches the wit and diversity of the music. ...the band’s Zeppelin-worshipping roots peek through thanks to spidery guitar passages & dramatic mood shifts. ...of moments of complex prog-rock and psychedelic exploration a la Tool, Porcupine Tree, King Crimson,.....also space-rock and shoegaze ... ultimately, many of the influences inhabit the same song.

“The Intangibles I Woke Up In The Future Review: Dan MacIntosh The Intangibles give progressive rock a good name. This NYC trio takes a style that can be quite pretentious – to say the least – and plays it with a lot more warmth and relative simplicity. This act describes its sound as “progressive rock with a psychedelic attitude,” and its psychedelic behavior is most apparent during a track called “Fortunes Fool.” This slow and moody tune, with its spacey keyboard sounds, affected vocals and jangling guitars, is the kind of song that may affect some listeners like a psychedelic flashback to trippier days. It’s ironic that the group calls its new album I Woke Up In The Future. That’s because a lot of this album sounds like it could have been recorded from the late ‘60s to the mid-‘70s. And that’s a good thing. ...that so much creativity exploded on the scene during those pivotal years. ”

“Artist: The Intangibles Album: I Woke up in the Future The music of The Intangibles combines psychedelic sounds with both classic and modern progressive rock and some hard-edged classic rock. It’s a blend that’s both familiar and new. It also works pretty much every time. A killer bass line opens “Black Concert Tee Shirt.” It’s the hardest rocking tune to this point, but still has some of that Beatles-influenced sound. There’s a definite 1970s hard rock texture to the piece. ...“What I Thought I Saw” starts with an almost house music rhythm section....from there in more modern progressive rock directions. ...a lot of psychedelia in the arrangement, the bass guitar runs intriguing lines of sound all over the backdrop. In the end, it’s an exciting and entertaining musical adventure. Like most great albums, it’s a journey that includes peaks and valleys, mellower moments and harder rocking ones. ”

“An alternate reality of PROG-O-DELIC Symphonic psychedelic raga dinner music for forest Fauna to graze to. Songs with beginnings middles and endings... sometimes more than one. ”

“prog-o-delic melodies with psychedelic orchestral bombast, combines with blues guitar DNA and arena rock syncopation...but with a sensitive side.”
