THE JEWEL

Their first full-length album, already showcases Nick's ability in writing catchy, nice melodies/tunes, and interweave several melodielines to one great pallet of sounds. Rik Carter together with Nick's guitar create a very rich atmosphere, with a great bass-line underneath it all, as provided by Peter Gee. Nigel's drumming is o.k. but not really spectaculair. Standout tracks IMO are Alaska, Circus and The Black Knight. But the other songs are not fillers though. Great album for all who like Marillion, Camel and Genesis. I like it quite a lot.
