He's been cleared!
I know it's been a while since you posted this thread, but do you suppose you could write a more expansive biography for his upcoming page?

Thanks for the suggestion. I love this album. Especially the eponymous song.

He's a great player and has just released a new album with a star-studded cast of musicians. This is great prog/fusion music!

British Keyboardist and composer Benjamin Croft released Far and Distant Things last year with illustrations by Hugh Syme (that sounds pretty proggy to me!).  Prog magazine says he sounds like "a well-schooled, well-accompanied musical mind in the thrall of Joe Zawinul, Chick Corea, Allan Holdsworth, and Shostakovic.

Here is a link to his website.  Benjamin Croft (benjamincroftmusic.com)

The music can be heard on YouTube.  Far and Distant Things - YouTube
