The debut album from this band from Great Britain.
The band was an eleven pieces big band with a lineup of percussion, bass, cello, viola, violin, ukulele, dulcimer, cuatro, piano, melodica and northumbrian pipes.
This band was formed by a son of two members from The Penguin Cafe Orchestra. Penguin Cafe has so far released five albums. I have only got this album from them. I have reviewed all the The Penguin Cafe Orchestra albums in this blog.
A Matter Of Life is clocking in at almost fifty minutes and chamber avant-garde neo-classical music is what we get here.
There are a lot of strings here and some piano.
The music is pretty slow and a bit pedestrian.
Is this rock ? Is this progressive rock ? No. It is chamber music.
The music is decent though with some interesting pieces of music. The music never really becomes good and I think this is the only one of their albums I will ever review.
