PICTURES FROM THE OTHER SIDE

It's difficult to know what to say really. The overriding thing for me is that much of it isn't strictly Prog, but then what is Prog? If the sound is too familiar then we'll criticise it for not being new, but the vehicle here seems to provide the basis for Love songs/Ballards, which surely isn't Prog. Whatever, if you listen to the album a lot then you'll find plenty of Prog subtleties to enjoy, as both the production and the musicianship are first class. The real winner here, and perhaps the most important musical instrument being used here is Peter Jones's voice, which never fails given the tasks thrown at it. These are heightened with the accompaniment of the female voice of Anghared Brinn, and when the pair of them sing together it's absolutely faultless. Overall, it's a pleasant enough listen, but probably not what you are expecting. Sadly, I feel that I can only award it 3 stars because I don't feel that there's enough of what I define as 'Prog' music to justify giving it more.
