I haven't tried the tempo mapping yet, but after hearing what you've done with it I might. I listened to this on nice speakers but at a lower volume, so I might have missed some of the more interesting passages. I'll try and listen later today on my studio setup.
Definitely some great prog music here and falls in line with those other bands mentioned. Great playing on the guitar!
I can hear a heavier guitar in there instead of keys around the middle mark as a solo to jump start the piece, or a more dirty synth. Not really a necessity though. Not the busy stuff, just a basic rock underpinning, maybe detuned slightly...but that's just me.
