The third album from this multi-national band.
The band, or make that the project, were a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards and flute.
A handful of guests added guitars, narration and vocals.
This album is the follow up to the good album Visions From A Distant Past, released in 2019. An album which was a substantial improvement on their debut album again.
That album had two vocals based songs and ten instrumental pieces of music. It seems like that is a recipe and an identity the band/project is comfortable with.
This is why this album, the just over one hour long After All These Years album, is following the same recipe. We get a couple more songs here and the vocals is very good. Both the male and female vocals.
The music reminds me a lot about Camel. The music this time around is therefore symphonic prog and it even comes with some Yes influences.
The music is as flowery and lush as the cover art-work. It is also a bit "green" as in being influenced by Irish folk rock.
The music is bordering to being great at times. This is though a very good album and an album which should earn this band a lot of fans in the symphonic prog scene.
3.5 points
