Walking On Ice - No Margin For Error (1994)

 

The debut album from this band from Great Britain.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, didgeridoo, bass, guitars, mandolin, keyboards, tin whistle and vocals.

This band is the forerunner of Zen Orchestra, a band that released their debut album last year. An album I reviewed back in November 2025.

No Margin For Error clocks in at one hour and the music is early days neo-prog.

There is also a lot of pomp rock on this melodic, poppy take on neo-prog. References are early IQ and Pendragon.

The music is pretty simple and poppy. There are an didgeridoo interlude halfway through the album which are breaking up the album a bit.

The vocals are rather good. The music is not particular interesting.

This is a decent enough album. It is an album with historical interest for those into neo-prog.
