STILL [AKA: STILLUSION]

Peter Sinfield is best known as early King Crimson's member (even if his contribution was only their song's lyrics, some covers design ideas and light during their live shows). But he was involved in some unknown musical projects still before his collaboration with King Crimson as well.

This, his only solo album, was recorded with help of many present and future King Crimson musicians - Greg Lake, Mel Collins, and John Wetton between others. Peter Sinfield is not only lyrics author, he sings and plays keyboards and guitars.

Whole album is very melodic, dreamy and folksy one. Sinfield isn't a great vocalist, but his lyrics and participation of great musicians build a nice atmosphere. Keit Tippett ,Mel Collins and brass section gave a jazzy feeling on some songs. More prog-folk, than Crimsonian music, this album is really pleasant addition to serious King Crimson collection. Could be interesting to early folksy prog lovers as well.

My rating is 3+.
