BIGGER ON THE INSIDE

Rachel Flowers is a great keyboardist. She also has an "orchestral mind" I mean she makes the musical arrangement sound great, I especially like the vocal arrangements . She reminds me of Paul McCartney or Neil Morse in the way they manage to imagine all the instruments sounding coherently. It's said she plays all instruments. It all could make a great prog album, but that's not enough. In fact it doesn't really make a great prog album. What about the musical themes? IMHO those are what really built a prog album. I don't found great prog music in this album. I've listen carefully to songs like "Take me away", "The Darkness" or "Feel" but they aren't prog epics, They are nice long songs. OK this is a good album . . . but non-essential. P.S.: Maybe one of my problems with this one is she plays all instruments. Does she really thinks no one can do it better than her? I can't imagine Robert Fripp or Peter Gabriel giving up teamwork for the ego, McCartney style.
