I've received Martin Orford's The Old Road lately and it definitely blows me away! A classic, romantic and nostalgic "retro" neo-prog (as Martin says himself) at his best (something like a tie between Jadis nad IQ) with fine contribution of Gary Chandler. It's hard to find a single weak track for me (maybe Take It To The Sun is too Wetton-ish ), but what is your favorite?
By the way - I hope that isn't Martin's really farewell with great music...

The best album I've heard for ages; it's been on my CD player almost constantly for 3 weeks. Best track?? I absolutely love The Old Road, The Time and the Season and Endgame. All the rest are also very good, but for me, the utterly beautiful Ray of Hope wins. Exquisite! Easily the best album of 2008, if not the last decade. Martin Orford is a genius and a terrible loss to music. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |
