GUY MANNING: TALL STORIES FOR SMALL CHILDREN

I will never forget what i felt when i heard this album for first time. Purely emotional and melancholic, once simple and greateful, someone could find influences of Pink Floyd (or more probably the Roger Waters solo career) or a little of Jethro Tull. But Guy Manning gives a special touch to his own style. "The Last Psalm", first piece of the album, is simply wonderful: is once tragical and sweet, incredibly melancholic and also with a particular vision of "no- war" philosophy mixtured with childish images.
