two, Doomsday Afternoon, was released in 2007. The former features shorter songs and is somewhat more of a return to the simpler song structures of Ghost Story, whereas the latter is more akin to Chupacabras in its breadth, resembling symphonic prog to a greater degree. Its overarching ecological theme of man's refusal to face up to global warming along with its recurring musical themes lend the album a symphonic prog style structure and scale. Phideaux Xavier and many fans alike consider Doomsday Afternoon to be his masterpiece. The album's regular musicians are supplemented by members of the Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra. In 2007, Phideaux's band played in the US and at the Festival Crescendo in St Palais-sur-Mer, France. Number Seven After almost a two-year wait, Phideaux released Number Seven. Although Number Seven is technically the follow-up to Doomsday Afternoon, it is not part three of the "Trilogy." It's a three-part concept album telling the story of a struggle between a dormouse and a crayfish. Phideaux planned to release Seven and ½ later in 2010, which the band states is an appendix to Number Seven. Phideaux has announced that he would like to release Seven and ½, remaster Doomsday Afternoon and create a live performance DVD before working on Infernal, the finale of his trilogy.
