PROG REVIEWER

It's such a shame that this has been roundly ignored. Okay, it's not exactly on the cutting edge if you want fast time signature changes and a ukelele at the front. For me this is an exquisitely recorded album of lovely soulful songs, multi layered keyboards and the best guitar solos I've heard for a while. It's a fluid piece of music so it's not just a bunch of unrelated songs. I'm not clear what the story is about (but then I've never cared about such things anyway) with the artwork is suggesting a good old fashioned Philip Marlowe based film noir. (love the artwork).
