In a superficial way Mozaick could be called a progressive rock album but this is progressive music imbued with a myriad of other influences. To understand those influences, it is worth considering the background of Mustafa Khetty who is the man behind The Morpheus Project. Khetty is sometimes described as a composer because of his ventures in the realm of classical music. Those influences can be heard here, but whereas the 70s prog bands were influenced by well-known classical music from the 17th to 20th centuries, Khetty's classical influences are contemporary with elements of Glass, Richter and Einaudi in his music. Khetty is also well travelled, having been born in Sri Lanka and having lived in the Middle and Far East as well as the UK and Ireland, so the sounds of those regions of the world creep into his music too.

By throwing all these musical styles and influences into the mixer, Khetty does risk producing a horrible hotch-potch but he skillfully heads that off by avoiding mixing too many styles within any one track.

The word 'unique' is overused in the music industry, what Mustafa Khetty has produced here with The Morpheus Project is 100% unique and well worth listening to. For prog fans looking for something new and fresh, this will be a treat!
