Not to say that there are influences and honest respect to the godfathers of the music we love. The Hidden Hand 2004 is rising from the fields of King Crimson, 70's rock and Doom roots, includes some Rush influences and effects from nowadays athmospheric (instrumental) rock that brought us Ostinato, Mogwai and Isis. Please don't get me wrong here. I'm not trying to say, The Hidden Hand sounds like ANY of these bands. They just grabbed some of their attitudes, their way to create sounds and structures and mixed together a completely outstanding new beginning. I'm talking about a new era here! This isn't sounding like a "Wino band" at all anymore. This is truely something extraterrestrial. Touched by the hand of, yeah, let's say it, GOD."
