REGENERATION

Second release by a band which according to PA biography released one album and vanished.. All the music was written by IQ guitarist Mike Holmes and was recorded with a little help from his friends Niall Hayden and Paul Cook on drums, and saxophonist Tony Wright.Although all the music was written by Mike Holmes you won't hear too much guitar solos here. The music is an eclectic collection of Pink Floyd, rock, ambient, electronic, dance and whatever...One hour of good instrumental music(there are occasional voices a la Pink Floyd ), in eight tracks from which only one is shorter than 3 minutes. Some might like it (most probably IQ fans) , some might not. In my opinion it lacks a central idea and the current place(62) in PA 2010 top is much too high in a year with so many good releases.. 3.5 stars rounded to 3 stars for a decent album.
