Satellite are probably the most known progressive rock band from Poland, if we consider Riverside as progressive metal. Regardless of labeling, they are certainly the band that has turned the lights of interest on Polish progressive scene. "Into the Night" is their latest album and is the final chapter of a trilogy that the band started in 2003 with their debut "A Street between Sunrise and Sunset" and continued with "Evening Games" in 2005. The album continues from the point where "Evening Games" stopped and in fact has a quite hard task to do; to exceed "Evening Games" which has reached no 8 on the top 100 best selling records in Poland. The five musicians perform interesting neo-progressive rock that is clearly influenced by Genesis, Marillion and Pendragon. "Downtown Skyline" shows some relation with Riverside and this melancholic prog sound, but there are also optimistic moments, like the third part of "Dreams", which brings the thirteen epic to an end with a rock soloing climax. In general the band prefers to start from lower levels and then build on a growing basis, just like they do in "Forgiven and Forgotten" with the exceptional bold keyboards and the guitar solos. "Heaven Can Wait" is probably the most interesting and certainly the heaviest song that shows the respect the band has to Dream Theater as well. The album is brilliantly produced by Wojtek Szadkowski and Krzysiek Palczewski, while the cover gives the appropriate aesthetic to the album, courtesy of Mark Wilkinson, who is known by covers of Marillion and Fish.

In conclusion "Into the Night" is an album that doesn’t innovate through the creation of new sounds, but as an amalgam of the finest prog rock elements surely will satisfy the genre’s enthusiasts. The Digipak edition has two bonus tracks, so all prog-rock fans are encouraged to search for this version first.
