LOST IN TIME

I'd previously found Flamborough Head's material rather inconsistent - I'd enjoyed Defining the Legacy but felt that subsequent albums were a little lukewarm - but Lost In Time goes a long way towards correcting that. The band have thoroughly updated and reconfigured their sound, and Margriet Boomsma's vocals have never sounded better; in addition, there's a new dramatic flair to their songwriting that demonstrates that they're no longer satisfied just to deliver the same old material. It's still solidly within the neo-prog field, but it's in a more individual style with more tendency towards risk-taking; I think it's still fairly middle-tier material, but if you are very fond of neo-prog stuff and have been thinking about checking out Flamborough Head it's not a terrible place to start.
