The debut album from this band from Great Britain.
The band was a trio with a lineup of bass, guitars, piano, keyboards, synths, vocals and programmed drums.
One guest added narrations.
Rick Lambe is the man behind this band and he has been active in the music scene for the last few decades. This band and its three albums are his first foray into the progressive music scene. I will review these three albums in the coming weeks.
The music on this seventy-three minutes long album is classic symphonic prog. References are both Yes and Genesis.
There is a bit of a folk rock and an Americana sound in Rick's take on symphonic prog. There is also a long piece of narration (about a terror attack on London) on the nine minutes long Things Need To Change.
The title track is an half an hour long suite. References here are Yes. The other songs are symphonic and epic too.
The vocals are good. The sound is good and Rick does a good job on the instruments and arrangements of the pieces of music.
Rick and his Fabric Of Reality Project has been flying well under mine and other prog rock fans radar. This album is hidden gem and one to check out. This is a borderline great album. A couple of lesser great tracks "only" makes this a very good album.
Check out this album if symphonic prog is your thing.
3.5 points
