The second album from this artist from Great Britain.
Dominic Sanderson did the guitars, mellotron and vocals here.
He got help from a handful of guests who added drums, percussion, bass, violin, clavinet, piano, organ, keyboards, saxophones and flute.
His 2023 debut album Impermance was a good eclectic prog album. See my review from earlier this month. I was therefore looking forward to review the follow up album, this album.
Dominic continue more or less down the same path on this forty-five minutes long album. Eclectic prog is the genre here.
There is one notable difference though..... This album is very influenced by Van Der Graaf Generator and Peter Hammil, the solo artist. This inbetween the obvious King Crimson and Anekdoten influences
Dominic's vocals is pretty much in the same vein as Peter Hammil's vocals. The same style, the same delivery.
There is still a lot of mellotron here and those reminds me a lot about Anekdoten. There is also a lot of saxophones here.
The music is very complex with some sporadic melodic pieces. Although eclectic, the music is also very playful at times and borderline Canterbury scene at those playful pieces of music.
There are four pieces of music here. All of them are good to very good. My main impression is that this is a very good album and one that deserve a lot more attention. Check out this album.
