I ordered this album to my library but it was mostly a waste. Not only it is rarely borrowed, I
myself didn't much enjoy it. WISHING TREE is a side project of Marillion guitarist Steve Rothery
teaming up with singer Hannah Stobart. Her voice is okay - though I wouldn't quite compare
her to Heather Findlay of Mostly Autumn - but the problem is, everything about this album is
just okay, nothing more. I listened to it for a couple of times but there was absolutely nothing
to get excited about. If I heard a track on the car radio I probably wouldn't pay much attention."Prog Related" is a big exaggeration. This is just harmless pop with supposedly some folkish feel and with nice guitar centred sound - naturally - but extremely forgettable when it comes to the song writing. Somehow it felt like American AOR. I know, I should have given it more listenings really, but in these matters I'm usually very remorseless: music has to make SOME (no matter how faint) impression in the first listening to gain more. Sorry.
